Publish all .net core projects in a directory

I have a main directory containing all of my various .NET core solutions in subdirectories under it. Is there a way for me to publish all of these projects at once instead of opening and publishing each separately in Visual Studio?

You can do this with the dotnet command line interface.

To do this, open a PowerShell terminal and cd into the root directory containing the various projects you want to publish. From there, run the following:

$paths = Get-ChildItem -include *.csproj -Recurse
foreach($pathobject in $paths)
{
     cd $pathobject.directory.fullName
     dotnet publish
}

Doing this will publish every project into its default publish location, e.g. MyProjectFolder/bin/debug/netcoreapp3.1/publish.

To publish each project to a specified subdirectory, you can use the -o flag on the publish command. E.g. in the above, substitute dotnet publish -o bin\Debug\myCustomPublishFolder for dotnet publish
