Quick start: dotnet core solution with test project

Are you trying to create a dotnet core solution with a test project?

Run these commands to get started:

mkdir YourSolution
cd YourSolution
dotnet new sln --name YourSolution

Create project directory

mkdir YourProject
cd YourProject

Create any kind of project you like! Examples:

dotnet new console
dotnet new webapi

See all templates:

dotnet new --help

Add the project to the solution

cd ..
dotnet sln add YourProject/YourProject.csproj

Repeat those same steps for your test project:

mkdir YourProjectTests
cd YourProjectTests
dotnet new xunit
cd ..
dotnet sln add YourProjectTests/YourProjectTests.csproj

Finally

dotnet restore
dotnet build
dotnet test

You have your first test!
