Have you ever run into a situation where you need to run some code segments without adding it to your current solution?? The simple solution is quickly creating a new solution with a console app to test these codes.

Or you ever wanted to generate a random string or integer or a more practical one, a guid (This happens to me a lot personally).

Introducing CSharpREPL, a tool that allows developers run C# as an interpreted language. If you’re a dev coming from languages like Python or javascript, tools like this look familiar and natural.

From the docs github repo:

A cross-platform command line REPL for the rapid experimentation and exploration of C#. It supports IntelliSense, installing NuGet packages, and referencing local .NET projects and assemblies.

Installation (from nuget):

Type this on your console dotnet tool install -g csharprepl

Basic Usage

> Console.WriteLine("Hello Revent!")
Hello Revent!
> DateTime.Now
21/09/2024 10:29:17
> Guid.Empty
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
> Guid.NewGuid()
