Alias request for dotnet

  • 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 the dotnet 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.

This request has been added to the queue for review by the @reviewers team.

this fits the snap and can be expected by users, +1 from me

I agree with @cav. Thus, +1 from me for (#voteFor) granting the requested alias
