dotnet-build:tldr:ecf3e

dotnet-build: Specify the output directory.
$ dotnet build --output ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

This command is used to build a .NET project and specify the output directory where the resulting binary files will be stored.

Here is an explanation of each component of the command:

  • dotnet: This is the command-line interface (CLI) tool used for working with .NET projects and files.

  • build: This is the subcommand that tells the dotnet CLI to build the project.

  • --output: This is an option that specifies the output directory for the built project's binary files. It is followed by ${path-to-directory}, which is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the desired output directory.

By running this command and providing the appropriate path to the output directory, the dotnet CLI will build the project and place the resulting binary files (such as executable files, DLLs, etc.) in the specified directory.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
