Install as a Cake Tool

The Entity Framework Core tools help with design-time development tasks. They're primarily used to manage Migrations and to scaffold a DbContext and entity types by reverse engineering the schema of a database.

The Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design package is required for either command-line or Package Manager Console-based tooling, and is a dependency of dotnet-ef and Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools.

Usage

Install the package into your project and then use either dotnet-ef or Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools.

By default, the package will install with PrivateAssets="All" so that the tooling assembly will not be included with your published app. For example:

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design" Version="8.0.2">
    <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
    <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
</PackageReference>

Getting started with EF Core
