Command Line Craftsmanship: Building and Sharing .NET CLI Tools
summary
Builds a real currency converter CLI using Spectre.Console, wiring a command class that derives from Command, a settings type for positional arguments, and an overridden ExecuteAsync with a validation hook. The tool calls an exchange API, renders ASCII art headers, tables, progress bars and color prompts with a few lines of code, then packs and publishes as a dotnet tool to NuGet so anyone can install it globally via dotnet tool install -g.
