Tool to extract configuration values from appsettings.json
Install confext tool using the options below
| Global | dotnet tool install -g Joacar.Confext |
| Local | dotnet new tool-manifest && dotnet tool install Joacar.Confext |
| Preview | dotnet tool install -g Joacar.Confext --version <version> |
Using as part of CI then dotnet tool update -g Joacar.Confext is preferred since it will install if not already installed, otherwise update. Hence not returning non-zero exit code causing you build to fail.
If execution completed successfully zero exit code will be set, otherwise exit code will be non-zero.
