DotVVM Command Line

When you create DotVVM project (ASP.NET Core) using DotVVM for Visual Studio or using dotnet new, the DotVVM Command Line tool should be already registered in the project file:

<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>
  ...
  <ItemGroup>
    <DotNetCliToolReference Include="DotVVM.CommandLine" Version="1.1.0" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

This will allow to run commands starting with dotnet dotvvm ... in the project directory to perform various actions with the DotVVM project.
