How do I set the OutputDirectory for msbuild pack?

Question

Previously using Nuget, one could run nuget pack -OutputDirectory ../../output for example. How can I do this with msbuild pack? I am using VS2017.

Answer 1

dotnet pack has an option to set the output path:

$ dotnet pack -h
  ...
    -o, --output <OUTPUT_DIR>             Directory in which to place built packages.

So you can do dotnet pack -o ../artifacts/packages
