Usage

In your Program.cs you can create a CommandAppBuilder class and then register your services:

var builder = CommandAppBuilder.Create();

//Register your services with the Services property. i.e.
builder.Services.AddSingleton(....);

//Create the CommandApp instance
var app = builder.Build();
app.Configure(config => { /* your app configuration */ });

//Create the CommandApp instance with its default command
var app = builder.Build<DefaultCommand>();
app.Configure(config => { /* your app configuration */ });

return app.Run(args);

It's possibile to specify the app configration in the overloads of the Build and Build<TDefaultCommandMethod>:

// ...

//Create the CommandApp instance
var app = builder.Build(config => { /* your app configuration */ });

//Create the CommandApp instance with its default command
var app = builder.Build<DefaultCommand>(config => { /* your app configuration */ });

// ...
