How to set default publish action in VSCode

Question

When publishing my asp app from VSCode I am using command

dotnet publish -c release -o Z:\inetpub\wwwroot\Tools

Is there a way to make this the default publish command, so I don't need to type it into the terminal each time?

Answer 1

You could set this up as a VS Code task

Something like this:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "taskName": "publish",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "dotnet publish",
            "args": [
                "-c", "release",
                "-o", "Z:\inetpub\wwwroot\Tools"
            ],
            "presentation": {
                "reveal": "always",
                "panel": "new"
            }
        },
    ]
}
