Creating Neat .NET Core Command Line Apps

Creating Neat .NET Core Command Line Apps

You can now read this on my (pretty) website! Check it out here.

Every reason to get more HackerPoints™ is a good one, so today we're going to write a neat command line app in .NET Core! The Common library has a really cool package Microsoft.Extensions.CommandlineUtils to help us parse command line arguments and structure our app, but sadly it's undocumented.

No more! In this guide, we'll explore the package and write a really neat

# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.
#
# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
# programs.

# Once you're done here, go to

Check git status of multiple repos

If you're like me you have a dir like ~/Workspace/Github where all your git repos live. I often find myself making a change in a repo, getting side tracked and ending up in another repo, or off doing something else all together. After a while I end up with several repos with modifications. This script helps me pick up where I left off by checking the status of all my repos, instead of having to check each one individually.

Usage:

git-status [directory]

This will run git status on each repo under the directory specified. If called with no directory provided it will default to the current directory.
