This project is a simple .NET 8 CLI tool that can be installed as a global dotnet tool, and will generate GUID's from the command line. As a .NET 8 CLI, it can be installed on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
To install the tool, you can use the following command to install it from Nuget.org:
dotnet tool install --global StaticSphere.Cli.Guid
Or if you wish to compile it locally and install it, you can do so with the following commands:
cd <<path to source>>
dotnet pack
dotnet tool install --global --add-source ./dist StaticSphere.Cli.Guid
Once installed, you can execute the CLI to create a guid with the guid command:
guid
By default, the produced GUID is in all caps, and includes dashes. You can use the --lowercase or -l parameter to signal that you want the GUID to have lowercased letters. You can also specify --nodashes or -n to remove the dashes. You can also use -lf to generate a guid with lowercased and with no dashes.
This project depends on the CommandLineParser Nuget package to handle parsing of command line parameters.
