dotnet tool?

[Tobias-08]

Hi,
downloading the exe via web request seems a little bit cumbersome. What do you think about publishing this as a dotnet tool on nuget.org?

Thanks!

Are you talking about the integration into Azure DevOps as build task?

[Tobias-08]

Not only, but that's one aspect. I know that there is an extension with its own task. But using just a script-task is fine for me (and I think this is also the direction Microsoft is heading for in Azure Devops). Having your tool as dotnet tool in nuget feels a bit more standards compliant to me (compare e. g. NBGV) and would ease integration and perhaps increase usage.

thats just a tiny addition to the github action that I use for the releases, will look at this when I have time.
