schost — SharpConsoleUI Desktop Host Tool

A CLI tool that launches SharpConsoleUI apps in a configured terminal and packages them for distribution.

From NuGet (recommended):

dotnet tool install -g SharpConsoleUI.Host

From source:

cd tools/schost
dotnet pack src/schost -c Release
dotnet tool install --global --add-source src/schost/nupkg SharpConsoleUI.Host

Or run directly without installing:

dotnet run --project src/schost -- <command>

dotnet new install tools/schost/templates/schost-app
dotnet new schost-app -n MyApp --title "My App"
cd MyApp
schost run
schost pack --installer

schost init MyApp/MyApp.csproj
schost run
schost pack

Interactive setup — creates schost.json with terminal preferences (title, font, size, colors).

Builds and launches the app in a new terminal window with configured settings.

Publishes as single-file exe, creates portable ZIP, launcher script, and optional Inno Setup installer.

Registers/unregisters a Windows Terminal profile or Linux .desktop file.
