NuGet Extensions

license version downloads

A CLI to extend the NuGet CLI with some handy features. Namely, the addition of an NPM-style link command. Also, a feature called "build short-circuiting" that uses file watching to copy newly available dlls directly into your built product.

You might also try the VSCode extension.

Status

Alpha version, approaching MVP. See issues for specifics.

Usage

  • Build a version of your NuGet packages, probably Debug with symbols included.
  • Run nuget-extensions link in the output directory where the .nupkg files are located.
  • Run nuget-extensions link MyProject.csproj,path/to/MyOtherProject.csproj in a directory where nuget install would otherwise install the package to.
  • Run nuget-extensions watch --short-circuit-build some/output/path in the same (^) directory where some/output/path is where your executable will load the dll from.
  • Build and debug your projects.

Note that you must currently re-link the projects in order to re-install the packages when there are new builds. This can be done automatically using watch.
