dotnet new to create a solution instead of a project

[MartyIX]

Hi,

I have read https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tutorials/cli-templates-create-project-template and I can install a template and dotnet new <templateName> works for me for a single C# project.

How can I make it more general and use dotnet new <something> to create a new .NET solution containing (say) 2 projects?

Thank you!

You can use dotnet new sln and dotnet sln add command to create such solution.

Solution file is somehow problematic today. It's quite painful to support it.

Thank you for the answer!

Do I understand it correctly that one needs to do something like this:

# See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42730877/net-core-when-to-use-dotnet-new-sln/42730946#42730946
dotnet new sln --name FooBar
dotnet new console --name Foo --output Foo
dotnet new console --name Bar --output Bar
dotnet sln add .\Foo\Foo.csproj
dotnet sln add .\Bar\Bar.csproj
dotnet restore
dotnet build FooBar.sln

to create a single solution with two (C#) projects?

It looks no problem
