Dotnet Which - The .NET tools finder

A tool that helps you find your .net Tools.

Any tool that is called dotnet-* can be invoked by dotnet like so: dotnet foo (assuming the tool is called dotnet-foo).

This tool helps you find those tools, listing them.

To use this you have to have at least .NET Core 2.1, which has Global tools. .NET global tools are a new feature in .NET 2.1, which is currently in preview.
