Well if you're familiar with the node ecosystem it's a corollary for npx/bunx/etc.

It is so that folks can build and run "tools" that are executed, utilizing the nuget ecosystem.

Relevant links in the dotnet docs (was just a quick google away):

* https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/global-t...

* https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/global-t...

It's actually a top-level doc section in the primary dotnet docs (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/).

To boil it down: you create a console app, add a couple of attributes to the solution file (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/global-t...). Packaging and publishing to nuget (if you want to share with others) is via `dotnet pack` and `dotnet nuget push` with some flags.

I do have to say it's actually very well documented.
