_Evolving CLI Techniques for Building NuGet Packages.md

CLI-RestoreBuildPackPush.cmd

@md classlib-packages

dotnet new classlib -o classlib1
@echo build a netstandard class library with msbuild - restore, pack, and push with nuget.exe
@echo -- technique since ~2013
cd classlib1
nuget restore classlib1.csproj
msbuild /t:build /p:Configuration=Release /verbosity:minimal
nuget pack -prop Configuration=Release -OutputDirectory bin\release\
nuget push bin\release\*.nupkg -source c:\temp\classlib-packages\
cd ..

dotnet new classlib -o classlib2
@echo restore, build and pack a netstandard class library with msbuild - push with nuget.exe
@echo - when using PackageReferences only, and no Packages.Config, msbuild (15.6 and later) can do the restore and packing
cd classlib2
msbuild /restore /t:build;pack /p:Configuration=Release /verbosity:minimal
nuget push bin\release\*.nupkg -source c:\temp\classlib-packages\
cd ..

dotnet new classlib -o classlib3
@echo restore, build and pack a netstandard class library with dotnet.exe
@echo - when using PackageReferences only with project types that dotnet sdk supports, dotnet.exe can do it all
cd classlib3
dotnet pack /p:Configuration=Release
dotnet nuget push bin\release\*.nupkg -s c:\temp\classlib-packages\
cd ..
