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_FILEThe 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|--helpPrints 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_FILEThe 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.
PROJECT_PATHThe path to the project to add to the solution. Add multiple projects by adding one after the other separated by spaces. Unix/Linux shell globbing pattern expansions are processed correctly by the
dotnet slncommand.
Options

--in-rootPlaces the projects in the root of the solution, rather than creating a solution folder. Available since .NET Core 3.0 SDK.

Add a C# project to a solution:
dotnet sln todo.sln add todo-app/todo-app.csproj
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
