Package

Package	Description
Novolis.Install	Global tool CLI (search, doctor, install, …)

Restore and publish via nuget.org and GitHub Packages only. For local platform library work, use Novolis.Platform.slnx (ProjectReference mode) — not sibling-repo hacks in this tool project.

What it is

Current status

v0.1.0 — initial publish. Core commands exist; install / update / remove are stubs. search, info, list, and doctor are functional at a basic level.

dotnet tool install --global Novolis.Install

Preview channel (when published):

Publishing (maintainers)

Publishing uses NuGet trusted publishing from GitHub Releases only.

1. Add trusted publishing on NuGet Novolis org for this repo (release.yml, environment nuget.org).
2. Bump <Version> in Novolis.Install.csproj to match the git tag (e.g. v0.1.0).
3. Create a GitHub Release with that tag.
4. Approve the nuget.org environment deployment.
