Improve CLI experience when creating a new application #1307

Closed andrebaltieri closed 3 years ago

andrebaltieri commented 3 years ago

Today we have a lot of templates and if you're starting on .NET is difficult to choose between them. Is also difficult to see what templates I can use... need to Google that.

If you're using Visual Studio, everything is more clear, the templates are organized and we have a GUI for that. But I think we have a lot of developers working through CLI, using VS Code.

The idea here is to have a global .NET command that show some selectable options on terminal, as Angular does when you start a new App.

For example dotnet new will show some questions to help me on creating my app.

dotnet new
  - Web application (ASP.NET/Blazor)
  - Mobile Application (MAUI)
  - Console Application
  ...

We can have more options after selecting the first one, and goes on. You got the idea.

Please, let me know if this make sense.

Since this is specifically about the .Net SDK, I think you should close this issue here and reopen it at the dotnet/sdk repo.
