Dotnet Templates

The repository contains a set of opinionated dotnet new templates. I am happy to receive critique and feedback on the existing templates, so feel free to open issues.

Installing

Use dotnet new install to install the templates.

dotnet new install Keboo.Dotnet.Templates

Updating

If you have previously installed the templates and want the latest version, you can use dotnet new update.

dotnet new update

Uninstalling

dotnet new uninstall Keboo.Dotnet.Templates

Included templates

• Aspire React Solution
• Avalonia Solution
• WPF Solution
• NuGet Package Solution
• System.CommandLine Solution - supports --mcp to scaffold a NuGet-hosted MCP server variant.

Local testing

Build the template package:

dotnet pack --configuration Release -o .

Install the locally built template package:

dotnet new install . --force

You can now test a template by running:

dotnet new keboo.wpf
dotnet build
dotnet test --no-build
dotnet publish --no-build

You can also exercise the new console MCP option with:

dotnet new keboo.console --mcp
dotnet test
dotnet pack -c Release

When done, you can remove the local install of the template package:

dotnet new uninstall .
