- [nitpick] Casing is inconsistent: the script error lists 'ga' in lowercase but this usage help shows 'GA' uppercase. Normalize casing to avoid confusion (e.g., use lowercase 'ga' everywhere).
echo " The possible values are: daily, preview, GA."

.NET 6 is out of support since November 2024 and .NET 7 since May 2024. .NET 6 was removed now from Azure DevOps 6 months after that as that's their policy what's yours? Would also be good to test with the .NET 10 previews, RC expected next month with GA in November. (End of Life (or Out of support) is usually the term that's used in the ecosystem.) |
