Dostar.Cli 0.12.0

Dostar CLI (dostar)

The dostar CLI is the entry point to Dostar — a fullstack template built around exceptional developer experience, complete DevSecOps, and CI/CD that deploys to production in under 30 minutes. The CLI handles project creation and module scaffolding so your team skips straight to building features:

• dostar new-project — clone the template and rename every token in one step
• dostar add-module — scaffold a new backend module (Contracts, Implementation, tests)
• dostar remove-module — cleanly remove a backend module and its references
• dostar add-feature — scaffold a new frontend feature folder, route file, and nav link
• dostar remove-feature — remove a frontend feature folder, route file, and nav link

Install

dotnet tool install -g Dostar.Cli

Release process

Releases are fully automated via release-please. No manual version bumps or git tags are needed.

        ▼
release-please opens a "chore(main): release X.Y.Z" PR
  • bumps <Version> in Dostar.Cli.csproj
  • updates CHANGELOG.md
        │
        ▼  (maintainer merges the Release PR)
        │
        ▼
GitHub Release + git tag created (e.g. v0.2.0)
        │
        ▼
nuget-publish.yml fires → packs + pushes to NuGet.org
