dnx runfile

<!-- #runfile -->

Run C# code programs from git repos on GitHub, GitLab and Azure DevOps.

Usage:
    [dnx] runfile [OPTIONS] <repoRef> [<appArgs>...]

Arguments:
    <REPO_REF>  Reference to remote file to run, with format [host/]owner/repo[@ref][:path]
                host optional host name ([gist.]github.com|gitlab.com|dev.azure.com, default: github.com)
                @ref optional branch, tag, or commit (default: default branch)
                :path optional path to file in repo (default: program.cs at repo root)

                Examples:
                * kzu/sandbox@v1.0.0:run.cs           (implied host github.com, explicit tag and file path)
                * gitlab.com/kzu/sandbox@main:run.cs  (all explicit parts)
                * kzu/sandbox                         (implied host github.com, ref and path defaults)

                Can be an alias previously set with --dnx-alias.

    <appArgs>   Arguments passed to the C# program that is being run.

Options:
    --dnx-aot         Enable dotnet AOT defaults for run file.cs. Defaults to false.
    --dnx-alias ALIAS Assign an alias on first usage which can be used instead of the full ref.
    --dnx-debug       Launch the debugger before running.
    --dnx-force       Force download, skipping ETag checking.

Example:

dnx runfile kzu/runfile@v1:run.cs dotnet rocks

View source:

#:package Spectre.Console@*

using Spectre.Console;

AnsiConsole.MarkupLine($"Hello world from [green]dnx[/] [yellow]gist[/] :rocket: [bold italic]{string.Join(' ', args)}[/]");

[!TIP] The repo does not need to be public. Private repos will leverage the same authentication used by your local git to access the file, via the Git Credential Manager.

When running different files from the same repo+ref, the download will be performed only once. The last download etag is used to avoid downloading on each run.

dnx gist

Version Downloads EULA OSS

<!-- #gist -->

Run C# code programs from GitHub gists.

Usage: [dnx] gist [OPTIONS] <gistRef> [<appArgs>...]

Arguments:
    <GIST_REF>  Reference to gist file to run, with format owner/gist[@commit][:path]
                @commit optional gist commit (default: latest)
                :path optional path to file in gist (default: program.cs or first .cs file)

                Examples:
                * kzu/0ac826dc7de666546aaedd38e5965381                 (tip commit and program.cs or first .cs file)
                * kzu/0ac826dc7de666546aaedd38e5965381@d8079cf:run.cs  (explicit commit and file path)

                Can be an alias previously set with --dnx-alias.

    <appArgs>   Arguments passed to the C# program that is being run.

Options:
    --dnx-aot         Enable dotnet AOT defaults for run file.cs. Defaults to false.
    --dnx-alias ALIAS Assign an alias on first usage which can be used instead of the full ref.
    --dnx-debug       Launch the debugger before running.
    --dnx-force       Force download, skipping ETag checking.

[!TIP] The gist does not need to be public. Private repos will leverage the same authentication used by your local git to access the file, via the Git Credential Manager.

Example:

dnx gist kzu/52b115ce24c7978ddc33245d4ff840f5 dotnet rocks

View source gist:

#:package Spectre.Console@*

using Spectre.Console;

AnsiConsole.MarkupLine($"Hello world from [green]dnx[/] [yellow]gist[/] :rocket: [bold italic]{string.Join(' ', args)}[/]");
