  • Ionide in Visual Studio Code
  • F# vim binding
  • F# Emacs mode

Build

Clone repo.

Run:

dotnet build

To run tests:

# create packages first (see below)
dotnet test -v n

To create packages:

dotnet pack

will create packages in bin\nupkgs

pass /p:Version=1.2.3 to create a package with version 1.2.3

Release

Make a new version tag and push that to the repo. Appveyor builds that are based off tags will create a github release. Nuget packages need to be pushed separately, but can be downloaded from Appveyor to do so.
