In .NET, launch settings (launchSettings.json) allow us to share run commands across all development environments, regardless of IDE and editor choices. For the most part, launch commands are cross-platform capable, so they aren’t limited to any operating system, which is excellent for teams that let developers make their own choices for tools and development environments. One of the recent tools in .NET, dotnet-watch, allows developers to speed up their development workflow by providing a more responsive feedback loop from the time a developer makes an edit in code to the time the app reflects it in the output.
In this short but helpful post, you’ll find a simple launch settings configuration to add dotnet-watch as a profile to your project’s existing launchSettings.json file.
