`version` command in nuget.exe for consistency with similar utilities #6092

Open am11 opened 7 years ago

am11 commented 7 years ago

Most utilities provide --version, -v, /version switches to display one liner version. e.g.

For nuget, we have to type nuget or nuget help and scroll up in console to find version digits; alternative approach is to pipe it to head utility: nuget | head -1.

Please introduce a version command, or perhaps more unix-y --version with accompanying shorthand -v.

Many thanks!

overtime, we believe that dotnet.exe will be replacing nuget.exe. Given that, this is a low priority issue that will likely not get addressed. Please give us feedback on all things dotnet.exe, so we can make sure that it meets your needs over time.
