Building the project locally

Prerequisites:

.NET 5.0 SDK
.NET 3.1 SDK (temporarily as the app still targets .NET 3.1, but requires .NET 5.0 to build)
(Recommended) C#/.NET IDE, such as JetBrains Rider, VS Code, or Visual Studio.

To build the entire solution run the following command in the root of the repository:

> dotnet build

This will generate runtime artifacts for each project:

./DiscordChatExporter.Gui/bin/[Debug|Release]/[runtime]/*
./DiscordChatExporter.Cli/bin/[Debug|Release]/[runtime]/*

You can also build and run a specific project directly. To do that, navigate to its directory and use dotnet run:

> cd DiscordChatExporter.Gui
> dotnet run
