agriffard 1.2.0

agriffard-card-dnx

A .NET global tool that displays a personal business card in your terminal. 💠

Overview

A CLI tool built for the .NET ecosystem using the new dnx command introduced in .NET 10! Run it instantly to access "agriffard" Antoine Griffard's resources and information—no installation required!

Quick Start with dnx

The easiest way to run this tool is with the new dnx command (similar to npx in Node.js):

dnx agriffard

That's it! The first time you run it, you'll be prompted to confirm the download. After that, it runs instantly without confirmation.

Available Commands

View help and available commands:

dnx agriffard

Display the business card:

dnx agriffard card

Open agriffard's blog:

dnx agriffard blog

Check the version:

dnx agriffard --version

Interactive Mode

Run in interactive mode to execute multiple commands without re-running the tool:

dnx agriffard -i

In interactive mode, simply type commands:

> card
(displays card)

> blog
(opens blog)

> exit

Exit by typing exit, quit, or pressing Enter on an empty line.

Recent Activity Command

The recent command displays your latest activity from multiple platforms:

dnx agriffard recent

Use --verbose to see detailed progress from each source:

dnx agriffard recent --verbose

The verbose mode shows:

• ✅ Number of results found from each source
• ⚠️ Sources with no results
• ❌ Any errors encountered while fetching data

Activity is displayed with relative timestamps like "5 min ago" or "2 hours ago" for recent items, and short dates for older items.

dnx vs. Global Installation

Key Differences:

The dnx command is .NET's answer to Node.js's npx, introduced in .NET 10. It allows you to run .NET tools on-demand without explicitly installing them. Perfect for trying out tools or running one-off commands!
