DESCRIPTION

The dotnet tool list command provides a way for you to list all .NET global, tool-path, or local tools installed on your machine. The command lists the package name, version installed, and the tool command. To use the command, you specify one of the following:

•
To list global tools installed in the default location, use the --global option
•
To list global tools installed in a custom location, use the --tool-path option.
•
To list local tools, use the --local option or omit the --global, --tool-path, and --local options.

OPTIONS

•
-g|--global

Lists user-wide global tools. Can’t be combined with the --tool-path option. Omitting both --global and --tool-path lists local tools.

•
-?|-h|--help

•
--local

Lists local tools for the current directory. Can’t be combined with the --global or --tool-path options. Omitting both --global and --tool-path lists local tools even if --local is not specified.

•
--tool-path <PATH>

Specifies a custom location where to find global tools. PATH can be absolute or relative. Can’t be combined with the --global option. Omitting both --global and --tool-path lists local tools.
