Why this project?

Command-line applications are a great way to automate repetitive tasks or even to be your own productivity tool. But building a command-line application in .NET is not easy. You need to parse the arguments, generate help pages, and so on. This project is designed to help you build a command-line application with just a few lines of code.

How to use

Run the following command to install Aiursoft.CommandFramework to your project from nuget.org:

dotnet add package Aiursoft.CommandFramework

To use it, you need to decide between:

• Single command app
• Nested command app

A single command app is a command line tool that only has one command.

This is useful for something with limited function, like:

• Ping tool
• File download tool
• Web server tool

A nested command app is a command line tool that has multiple commands. like:

• Nuget Ninja

Select the scenario you want to use and follow the instructions.
