Synopsis
dotnet sln [<SOLUTION_FILE>] [command] [-h|--help]
Description
The dotnet sln
command provides a convenient way to add, remove, and list projects in a solution file.
To use the dotnet sln
command, the solution file must already exist. If you need to create one, use the dotnet new command, like in the following example:
dotnet new sln
Arguments
SOLUTION_FILE
The solution file to use. If not specified, the command searches the current directory for one. If there are multiple solution files in the directory, one must be specified.
Options
-h|--help
Prints out a short help for the command.
Commands
add
Adds a project or multiple projects to the solution file.
Synopsis
dotnet sln [<SOLUTION_FILE>] add [--in-root] [-s|--solution-folder] <PROJECT_PATH> dotnet sln add [-h|--help]
Arguments
SOLUTION_FILE
The solution file to use. If not specified, the command searches the current directory for one. If there are multiple solution files in the directory, one must be specified.

Remove a C# project from a solution:
dotnet sln todo.sln remove todo-app/todo-app.csproj
Add multiple C# projects to a solution:
dotnet sln todo.sln add todo-app/todo-app.csproj back-end/back-end.csproj
Remove multiple C# projects from a solution:
dotnet sln todo.sln remove todo-app/todo-app.csproj back-end/back-end.csproj
Add multiple C# projects to a solution using a globbing pattern (Unix/Linux only):
dotnet sln todo.sln add **/*.csproj
Remove multiple C# projects from a solution using a globbing pattern (Unix/Linux only):
dotnet sln todo.sln remove **/*.csproj
