dotnet-tool: Search tools in NuGet.
$ dotnet tool search ${search_term}
try on your machine

The command "dotnet tool search" is used to search for .NET (dotnet) tool packages available on NuGet.org. It allows you to find packages related to a specific search term.

The syntax of the command is: dotnet tool search ${search_term}

  • "dotnet" is the command-line interface (CLI) for the .NET developer framework.
  • "tool" refers to the dotnet tooling system, which helps manage and extend the .NET development environment.
  • "search" is the subcommand that instructs dotnet to search for a specific package.
  • "${search_term}" is the placeholder for the search term or keyword you want to find in the tool packages available on NuGet.org.

For example, if you want to search for tools related to "logging," you can run the following command: dotnet tool search logging

The command will then retrieve a list of tool packages related to logging from NuGet.org, which you can use for development, debugging, or any other purpose related to logging within the .NET ecosystem.
