NuGetToolsPackager

NuGetToolsPackager generates a .nuspec file for a NuGet tools package from a Visual Studio 2017 console app project.

Installation

Use NuGet to install NuGetToolsPackager from its NuGet package.

For example, nuget install NuGetToolsPackager -excludeversion will download the latest version of NuGetToolsPackager.exe into NuGetToolsPackager/tools.

Usage

The NuGetToolsPackager command-line tool accepts the path to a .csproj file and a number of options. The .nuspec file is created in the same directory as the project file.

For example, NuGetToolsPackager MyProject.csproj generates a .nuspec file for that project in the current directory.
