vsmac-cli 0.2.0

vsmac-cli is a .NET global tool that lets you query and interact with installed versions of Visual Studio for Mac from the CLI.

For example, you can

• invoke the MSBuild bundled within Visual Studio for Mac using vsmac msbuild myapp.sln
• open a file with Visual Studio for Mac using vsmac open myfile.cs
• print the path to the Visual Studio for Mac app bundle using vsmac path (perhaps for use in other tools)
• manage Visual Studio for Mac extensions from the CLI using vsmac vstool setup

If you have multiple copies of Visual Studio for Mac installed, it will use the latest installed stable version by default. You can choose to use the latest installed preview using -p, for example vsmac -p open myfile.cs, or specify an explicit version using -v, for example vsmac -v 7.8 msbuild mysln.sln.
