Dotnet global tools are a great new feature in dotnet core. They allow creating small tools and publishing them with the same methods and thus ease as a nuget package. Good uses for them might include distributing internal tooling, or helper command line tools to go along with a nuget package, for example the AvroGen module used for generating Avro serialisation/deserialisation classes. However the uses are only just starting to be explored, and it’s a good time to try one for yourself!
