Dotnet new

As explained in Pro ASP.NET Core 7, Tenth Edition

The dotnet new command is a .NET CLI command that creates projects, configuration files, and solution files from templates.

dotnet new creates .NET projects, configuration files, and solution files from templates. In ASP.NET Core, it establishes the starting structure and configuration for application development. section 3.3 section 4.1.1

Useful template targets include:

  • web creates the minimum configuration and content required for ASP.NET Core development. section 4.1.1

Create a .NET 7 project and solution

dotnet new globaljson --sdk-version 7.0.100 --output MySolution/MyProject dotnet new web --no-https --output MySolution/MyProject --framework net7.0 dotnet new sln -o MySolution dotnet sln MySolution add MySolution/MyProject

Templates accelerate setup but embed configuration assumptions. The minimal web template is a useful learning starting point because later customization remains visible. section 4.1.1
