dotnet-build: Compile in release mode.
$ dotnet build --configuration ${Release}
try on your machine

This is a command used in the .NET development framework to build a project or a solution. Here's a breakdown of the components:

  • dotnet: This is the command-line interface (CLI) command used to interact with the .NET development framework.

  • build: This is an argument provided to the dotnet command to indicate that you want to build a project or a solution.

  • --configuration: This option specifies the build configuration to be used. In this case, it is set to ${Release}. The ${Release} part indicates that the value is a variable or placeholder that should be replaced with the actual value when executing the command.

The dotnet build command then uses the specified configuration, which is ${Release}, to build the project or solution according to the settings defined in that configuration. The exact behavior and settings of the ${Release} configuration depend on how it is defined in the project's configuration files (e.g., csproj or sln files). Typically, the ${Release} configuration is used for creating a release version of the project with optimizations enabled and debugging symbols disabled.

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.
