Name

Dotnet-pack-Package code as a NuGet package

Profile

' dotnet pack [--output]

[--no-build] [--build-base-path] [--configuration] [--version-suffix] [<project>] '

Describe

The dotnet Pack command builds the project and creates a NuGet package. The result of this operation is a package of two nupkg extensions. One contains the code and the other contains the debug symbol.

The project is dependent on the NuGet wrapper that is added to the Nuspec file, so they can be resolved when the package is installed.
By default, project-to-project references are not packaged into projects. If you want to do that, you need to refer to the type node in your dependencies that requires the project to be set to "build", as in the following example:

{    "version": "1.0.0-*",    "dependencies": {        "projecta": {            "target": "Project",            "type": "Build"        }    }}

By default, the Dotnet pack first builds the project. If you want to avoid this, pass the--no-build option. This is useful in the continuous integration (CI) build scenario, as you know that the code is just a pre-built example.

Options

[Project]

Packaged items. It can also be a path to a Project.json file or a directory. If omitted, it defaults to the current directory.

-O,--output [DIR]

Specifies the generated directory.

--no-build

--build-base-path

Specifies the catalog of temporary build artifacts. By default, they are in the obj directory of the current directory.

-C,--configuration [debug| Release]

The configuration that is used when the project is built. If not specified, the default is "Debug".
