What's changed with new command in .NET Core 2.0

Microsoft has released a major revision to the .NET Core framework around mid of August bumping the version to 2.0. This release includes not only the upgrade to the core framework but also include ASP.NET Core 2.0 and Entity Framework 2.0. Also along with this .NET Standard 2.0 is also released and it's now supporting around 32K + APIs and is a huge leap from what we had until now. You can read more about it by going to the announcement here.

One of the changes among these is that the dotnet restore is now an implicit command which means that there is no need to execute the restore command explicitly for commands which needed to do a restore before executing it. 

For example in .NET Core 1.1 whenever we executed a dotnet new command for creating a project we needed to execute the restore command before doing a build or execution. With .NET Core 2.0 when we execute the new command, the restore is now run automatically as part of the tooling. The following are the list of the commands which have got implicit support for restoration.

new
run
build
publish
pack
test
