FileInformation.Cli 0.0.4

Overview

A CLI tool to get different types of information about the files and directories. It's in an experimental stage, so things might not work as expected and the API may change with each minor version upgrade.

Build and Run

cd /repo/folder

dotnet build
dotnet run --project .\FileInformation\FileInformation.Cli.csproj

Publish AOT

cd /repo/folder

dotnet publish -c Release

Install

It's only published to NuGet so far, so you can install it using the following command. I'm planning to publish it to Snap and Homebrew in the future + add an install.sh script to make it easier to install.

On Linux

dotnet tool install --global fileinformation.cli
