paket auto-restore

Manage automatic package restore during the build process inside Visual Studio.

paket auto-restore [--help] <on|off>

FLAGS:

    <on|off>              enable or disable automatic package restore

OPTIONS:

    --silent, -s          suppress console output
    --verbose, -v         print detailed information to the console
    --log-file <path>     print output to a file
    --help                display this list of options.

If you add the --verbose flag Paket will run in verbose mode and show detailed information.

With --log-file [path] you can trace the logged information into a file.

When enabling auto-restore, Paket will

• create a .paket directory in your root directory,
• write paket.targets into the .paket directory,
• add an <Import> statement for paket.targets to the projects that don't use the .NET SDK.

paket.targets runs paket restore before the build of those projects. It finds Paket installed with --tool-path in .paket or in the root directory, as a local tool, or on the PATH like a global tool. The projects that use the .NET SDK restore through Paket.Restore.targets instead, which paket install adds to them.

When disabling auto-restore, Paket will

• remove paket.targets from the .paket directory,
• remove the <Import> statement for paket.targets from projects that have a paket.references file.
