dotnet publish

Publish a .NET application and its dependencies to a directory for deployment to a hosting system. More information: https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-publish.

• Compile a .NET project in release mode:

dotnet publish {{[-c|--configuration]}} Release {{path/to/project_file}}

• Publish the .NET Core runtime with your application for the specified runtime:

dotnet publish {{[-sc|--self-contained]}} true {{[-r|--runtime]}} {{runtime_identifier}} {{path/to/project_file}}

• Package the application into a platform-specific single-file executable:

dotnet publish {{[-r|--runtime]}} {{runtime_identifier}} -p:PublishSingleFile=true {{path/to/project_file}}

• Trim unused libraries to reduce the deployment size of an application:

dotnet publish {{[-sc|--self-contained]}} true {{[-r|--runtime]}} {{runtime_identifier}} -p:PublishTrimmed=true {{path/to/project_file}}

• Compile a .NET project without restoring dependencies:

dotnet publish --no-restore {{path/to/project_file}}

• Specify the output directory:

dotnet publish {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/directory}} {{path/to/project_file}}
