I recently saw that as part of the 2.0.35 release, it's supposed to be possible to install ILRepack as a dotnet global tool.
So I issued the command dotnet tool install -g ilrepack
but was met with the following error:
Tool 'ilrepack' failed to update due to the following:
The settings file in the tool's NuGet package is invalid: Settings file 'DotnetToolSettings.xml' was not found in the package.
Tool 'ilrepack' failed to install. Contact the tool author for assistance.

OK, so because dotnet tools share Nuget.org as their repository, of course ilrepack
didn't install as a dotnet tool
, because it's not a dotnet tool
but a regular old Nuget package.
The dotnet tool needs to be installed with dotnet tool install -g dotnet-ilrepack
. It would be nice if the README mentioned this 😄
