Run C# code programs from git repos on GitHub, GitLab and Azure DevOps.
Usage:
[dnx] runfile [--aot] [--alias ALIAS] <repoRef> [<appArgs>...]
Arguments:
<REPO_REF> Reference to remote file to run, with format [host/]owner/repo[@ref][:path]
host optional host name ([gist.]github.com|gitlab.com|dev.azure.com, default: github.com)
@ref optional branch, tag, or commit (default: default branch)
:path optional path to file in repo (default: program.cs at repo root)
Examples:
* kzu/sandbox@v1.0.0:run.cs (implied host github.com, explicit tag and file path)
* gitlab.com/kzu/sandbox@main:run.cs (all explicit parts)
* kzu/sandbox (implied host github.com, ref and path defaults)
Can be an alias previously set with --alias.
<appArgs> Arguments passed to the C# program that is being run.
Options:
--aot (optional) Enable dotnet AOT defaults for run file.cs. Defaults to false.
--alias ALIAS (optional) Assign an alias on first usage which can be used instead of the full ref.
Example:
dnx runfile kzu/runfile@v1:run.cs dotnet rocks

using Spectre.Console;
AnsiConsole.MarkupLine($"Hello world from [green]dnx[/] [yellow]gist[/] :rocket: [bold italic]{string.Join(' ', args)}[/]");
The repo does not need to be public. Private repos will leverage the same authentication
used by your local git to access the file, via the Git Credential Manager.
When running different files from the same repo+ref, the download will be performed only once. The last download etag is used to avoid downloading on each run.
