Creating Neat .NET Core Command Line Apps

You can now read this on my (pretty) website! Check it out here.

Every reason to get more HackerPoints™ is a good one, so today we're going to write a neat command line app in .NET Core! The Common library has a really cool package Microsoft.Extensions.CommandlineUtils to help us parse command line arguments and structure our app, but sadly it's undocumented.

No more! In this guide, we'll explore the package and write a really neat

	# This version is for a special boot that optimizes for real-time music performance and streaming video.
	# Due to the read-only system volume introduced with macOS Catalina, this script can NOT be run in Recovery mode's Terminal.

	### [2023-06-19] UPDATE: Just tried to use my instructions again on a fresh install and it failed in a number of places.
	###. Not sure if I'll update this gist (though I realise it seems to still have some traffic), but here's a list of
	###. things to watch out for:
	### - Check out the `nix-darwin` instructions, as they have changed.
	### - There's a home manager gotcha https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/4026
	###

	# I found some good resources but they seem to do a bit too much (maybe from a time when there were more bugs).
	# So here's a minimal Gist which worked for me as an install on a new M1 Pro.

	// IMPORT ALL MATERIAL COMPONENTS
	// #STEPS
	// 1- Import this file as module in app.module.ts ==> import { MaterialModule } from './xyz/abc';
	// 2- Initialize it in imports:[] array ==> imports:[MaterialModule]

	import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
	// ************* FORM CONTROLS *************
	import {MatAutocompleteModule} from '@angular/material/autocomplete';
	import {MatCheckboxModule} from '@angular/material/checkbox';
	import {MatDatepickerModule} from '@angular/material/datepicker';

	// we have an array of objects, we want to remove one object using only the id property
	const apps = [{id:34,name:'My App',another:'thing'},{id:37,name:'My New App',another:'things'}];

	// get index of object with id of 37
	const removeIndex = apps.findIndex( item => item.id === 37 );
	// remove object
	apps.splice( removeIndex, 1 );
