Forge for .NET Aspire is now out in preview to fix your dotnet watch woes 🥳 Install it as a dotnet tool, then run forge fire from your solution or AppHost project directory. We've been using it for a week now without incident, but issues are welcome! github.com/rudiv/forge #csharp #aspire #dotnet

There are bigger plans for this, for instance being able to manage multiple deployment targets, deploying to AppService, and most importantly fully customising whatever that deployment looks like. No more global identity or 100s of Container Registries. But right now it's dotnet watch...

... and that's absolutely fine, because it's virtually impossible to develop an Aspire project any other way right now without PAIN.

Sorry I can't be of much use there 😣 This is fixing the experience with Aspire as watch likes to rip down the whole app (and break things) for every single change currently. It's going to get better, but for now this is a tooled workaround. Still using dotnet watch under the hood, just per project.
