    Hi. I am not a game dev, but a c# one. What is it that frustrates you about the dotnet CLI?

    Edit: I use C# for work, not a Microsoft employee who works on c# dev lol

      Documentation is the worst offender. I remember one time that running dotnet restore and later running another command with --no-restore flag wouldn’t work, but running the last command without the --no-restore flag would. Creating a sane CI/CD pipeline for C# apps is a PITA.

        I’ve never had an issue with the dotnet CLI, including the commands you’re talking about. Their documentation is a bit scattered at times but for the most part they have examples on everything and walk through most scenarios.

        I’m not a Microsoft employee either, just a c# dev of 10 years.

        I do a lot of work with c# CI/CD and doing what you said absolutely does work.

        Most of my scripts are

        dotnet restore
        dotnet build --no-restore
        dotnet test --no-build
        dotnet publish --no-build
