11 sourcesI tried finding the pr they referenced, but wasn't able to in a minute of looking, but I did find https://github.com/spectreconsole/spectre.console/pull/1403 which is a null fix.
Presuming the PR in question is similar, one would likely be able to successfully argue that the code in the PR is trivial enough to not be covered by copyright.

I think it's an entirely valid argument given the variables names are defined by the original code and the style is defined by a style guide, the only addition here is a intrinsic utilitarian function without any artistic expression.
That said, I am not a lawyer, so who knows how it would actually play out in court if it went that far.

1 points · Open discussionHi,
If you are a c# developer and you like asspnet or net 6/7 and you are a "always db first" person.
This project is for you. (searching for testers and users). Free and open source (MIT licence).
When you begin a C# project that needs to retrieve info from a DB, you have several choices => efcore etc. But sometimes you see that you need to keep more controls on your data accesses.
This generator has been made for you => generate all the base stuff and focus on the complex ones.
It will generate all the Data Access layer + Poco for you (Dapper async way).
If some guys are interested in participating and enhancing the available generators or create new ones.
Dont' hesitate to PR.
The releases are not always updated but the main branch is always working.
Hope I will have some feedback.
Thanks to another awesome project : https://github.com

Here are my personal favourite command line libs for .NET:
- Argument parser - https://github.com/tyrrrz/CliFx
- TUI builder: https://spectreconsole.net/ and https://github.com/spectreconsole/spectre.console
In TUIsFor C#, there's https://github.com/spectreconsole/spectre.console
I use this in a lot of my "quick apps" for status monitoring
In Make Your Python CLI Tools Pop with RichMy example may not be the best, but .NET Commandline handling libraries contain significant quote-handline code. I know because I have relied on it.
I'm less familiar with the library that OP is using, but it seems to be here: https://github.com/spectresystems/spectre.console/blob/main/...
Going in the other direction, generating command lines: https://github.com/natemcmaster/CommandLineUtils/blob/main/s...
I don't recommend re-inventing this
