CommandlineBatcher 7.6.1.3

CommandlineBatcher

Execute batches of multiple commands in a single command line.

Versioning

CommandlineBatcher uses semantic versioning in an alternative way by using the format: {Runtime}.{Major}.{Minor}.{Patch}. This allows users of the tool to install a version matching a specific runtime. E.g. the following command installs CommandlineBatcher major version 4, for .NET 7.0.

dotnet tool update CommandlineBatcher -g --version 7.4.*

.NET 3.1 (3) and NET 6.0 (6) are also supported.
