.NET Core CLI and Global Tools
summary
Explains that global.json pins which SDK runs by major.minor but still rolls forward on patch updates, shows dotnet commands used: dotnet --info, dotnet new (console/globaljson), dotnet build (auto-restore) vs msbuild, and that build outputs are DLLs run with dotnet <path>.dll. Demonstrates global tools delivered via NuGet with dotnet tool install -g which creates a shimbed executable on PATH, compares framework‑dependent vs self-contained publish (~250 MB), and warns the preview linker can remove unused assemblies and break apps.
