The "dotnet tool restore" command is used in the .NET environment to restore the necessary tools required by a .NET project. It essentially downloads and installs the tool dependencies defined in the project's configuration file.
When you create a .NET project, you may need to install additional tools to aid in development, testing, or deployment. These tools can be specified in the project's configuration file (e.g., the .csproj file).
Once the necessary tools are defined in the configuration file, you can use the "dotnet tool restore" command to automatically restore and install those tools. This command will check for any missing or outdated tools and download them from the appropriate source, such as NuGet.
In summary, the "dotnet tool restore" command is used to fetch and install tool dependencies specified in a .NET project's configuration file, ensuring that the project has all the required tools for development and deployment.
