- name: dotnet
- description:
dotnet
is a snap developed and maintained by the Canonical Toolchains Squad that provides the .NET Runtimes and SDKs to developers and final users. It allows the installation of multiple runtime/SDK versions by shipping a component called the .NET Installer, a CLI tool built in-house at Canonical that helps manage .NET components installed on the machine. - snapcraft: dotnet-snap/snap/snapcraft.yaml at main · canonical/dotnet-snap · GitHub
- aliases:
- dotnet-installer: dotnet-installer
- reasoning: the .NET Installer should be made available through a top-level command –
dotnet-installer
– for ease of use. It should also be completely separate from thedotnet
command, which invokes the .NET CLI tool, a native .NET component.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no existing snap alias already granted or a well-known Linux application conflicting with the aliases requested here.
