Figure out a good way to distribute the new duality template #788

Closed Barsonax closed 4 years ago

Barsonax commented 4 years ago

Summary

A new duality template was made that uses the default .NET tooling in #786. The first step was to release this as a simple zip file. The source of the template can be found here https://github.com/Barsonax/DualityProjectTemplate

However there might be better ways to distribute this template

VSIX
A dotnet new template
Github template repo

Analysis

Ability to replace tokens
Nice integration with visual studio or command line tooling

Barsonax commented 4 years ago

A dotnet new template seems to be the way to go. Its quite simple to make (so less maintenance) but has some nice features:

Ability to replace strings with parameters
Ability to run post actions (such as dotnet build)
Commandline!

No Vsual studio integration yet but this is planned I believe.
