dotnet-ef: List available `DbContext` types.

dotnet

$ dotnet ef dbcontext list

try on your machine

The command "dotnet ef dbcontext list" is used in a .NET Core project with Entity Framework Core installed. It is used to list all the available DbContext classes in the project.

In a .NET Core project, a DbContext is a class that represents a session with the database and allows you to query and save data. DbContext classes are usually defined in the project and inherit from the DbContext class provided by Entity Framework Core.

The "dotnet ef dbcontext list" command is executed in the command-line interface (CLI) within the project's directory. When executed, it searches for all the DbContext classes defined within the project and lists them along with their fully qualified names.

This command is helpful when you have multiple DbContext classes in your project and want to confirm their names or check if they are correctly recognized by Entity Framework Core.
