Building the project locally
Prerequisites:
- .NET 6.0 SDK
- (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
