Way to make dotnet run as Release

[richlander]

I often use dotnet run. It's great! It's a very convenient one-liner for running my console or web app. It wouldn't say I "use it for scripting" but it's headed in that direction.

I'd like a way to make it run as -c Release by default. If I run dotnet build then I want things to work the way they do now. The idea that dotnet run should be a wrapper over dotnet build -c Debug and only ever that seems quite limiting.

I'm proposing this as an opt-in feature, like RunConfiguration.

A good example of where this would be useful: https://benchmarkdotnet.org/articles/guides/how-to-run.html

Seems like yet another candidate for having configurable CLI defaults similar to git @baronfel

Definitely, this would be part of #9344 IMO. I'll close as a default there, but I think we have a few good use cases:

• configuration defaults
• framework defaults for dotnet new
• command aliases

And this would be hierarchical at least to two levels:

• user profile
• repo/cwd profile

I'll close this as a dupe and link it to the canonical issue.
