C# REPL is a standalone tool, and it also fits into other developer environments.

Windows Terminal

Add a profile to Windows Terminal's settings.json, under the profiles.list property:

{
    "name": "C# REPL",
    "commandline": "csharprepl"
}

For the colors shown in the README screenshots, install the Windows Terminal Dracula theme.

Visual Studio Code

Run csharprepl in the VS Code terminal. To send code from the editor to the REPL, use the built-in Terminal: Run Selected Text In Active Terminal command (workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText) from the Command Palette.

Windows Start Menu

This PowerShell command creates a Start Menu shortcut that launches C# REPL in Windows Terminal:

$shell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
$shortcut = $shell.CreateShortcut("$env:appdata\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\csharprepl.lnk")
$shortcut.TargetPath = "wt.exe"
$shortcut.Arguments = "-w 0 nt csharprepl.exe"
$shortcut.Save()

Shell aliases

A short alias saves typing.

• Windows: create a .cmd file on your PATH, for example C:\Users\<username>\.dotnet\tools\csr.cmd, containing:

  wt -w 0 nt csharprepl

  You can then launch C# REPL by running csr.

• Linux and macOS: add this to ~/.bashrc:

  alias cs=csharprepl
