Default C# Repository Files

A couple of files that I generally add to each repository I create containing C# code

Installing the template

To install the template, run the following command:

dotnet new install GordonBeeming.DefaultFiles.CSharp

You'll see an update similar to this

Template Name                Short Name          Language  Tags
---------------------------  ------------------  --------  ----------------------------
Default C# Repository Files  gb-defaults-csharp  [C#]      .NET/CSharp/git/editorconfig

Using the template

Once installed, you can easily use the files by using the following command:

dotnet new gb-defaults-csharp

If you have any of the files already, you'll need to run the command with a --force argument.

Checking for template updates only

If you already have the template installed you can run the following command to see if there is an update available

dotnet new update --check-only

To update all templates, remove the --check-only argument, to update this template only, run the install command again.

Updating files to be included in the template

Updating files is simple... just add them and they should be published as DefaultCSharpRepoFiles.nuspec includes all files off the repository root.
