How to Develop an Interactive CLI with C# to Manage SendGrid Dynamic Email Templates
I used CliFx before and was already familiar with how fast you can develop a CLI. The fun part of this project was to make the CLI interactive by using the Sharprompt library.

Enforcing command line arguments with CommandLineUtils?
The library doesn't support that format, here you can see that MultipleValues means for example "-o value1 -o value2" Options Support options with multiple values · Issue #311 · natemcmaster/CommandLineUtils · GitHub

How do I run a single .class file in C#?
You could roll your own with some command-line argument processing. You could write that yourself and use reflection, or for an example from a library I've used, example.

Writing tests for CLI tool
I want to test how my tools generated files and folders in the destination with different arguments passed to the program. However, in my old code, I put all the logic of working with arguments in the static int main( string[] args) function. I could not use Interface and Dependency injection to mock the CLI tools because CommandLineUtils does not have an interface library. Luckily, I found this guidance from the owner of CommandLineUtils, and he advised that "Split the command-line argument parser and application execution into separate class structures" to test various options programmatically. It is a great suggestion, and I rewrote my program by adding class CommandLineOptions and adding logic to class Generator to make it works with CommandLineOptions. I can kill two birds with one stone by this change: code refactoring and writing better tests. Another problem I had was my folder structure. Before, I put the project's sln file, .git file , and src files in the root of the folder. However, when I added a new test project for Shinny-SSG, I had it outside my git folder, and it would be impossible to commit the change and put it in my remote repository. To resolve this, I had to change my folder structure to this:

Thanks to https://github.com/natemcmaster/CommandLineUtils for supplying a lot of the command structures. If you're interested in creating your own dotnet tool, this is highly recommended.
