   │ # │ Project File         │ Target Framework  │ Path                       │
   ├───┼──────────────────────┼───────────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
   │ 1 │ MyApp.csproj        │ net8.0            │ C:\MyProjects\MyApp        │
   │ 2 │ MyLibrary.csproj    │ net6.0            │ C:\MyProjects\MyLibrary    │
   └───┴──────────────────────┴───────────────────┴────────────────────────────┘
   

4. Choose an action

   Select one of the available options:

   • Change all projects to the same framework - Updates all projects to use the same target framework
   • Change specific projects individually - Selectively update individual projects
   • Cancel - Exit without making changes

5. For bulk updates:

   🎯 Enter new target framework: net9.0
   

6. For individual updates:

   Select projects from the list and specify the target framework for each one.

Examples 💡

Example 1: Update All Projects to .NET 9.0

versionify

1. Enter directory: C:\Projects\MySolution
2. Select: "Change all projects to the same framework"
3. Enter: net9.0
4. All projects will be updated to target .NET 9.0

Example 2: Update Specific Projects

versionify

1. Enter directory: C:\Projects\MySolution
2. Select: "Change specific projects individually"
3. Choose projects from the interactive list
4. Specify target framework for each selected project

Supported Target Frameworks 🎯

Versionify supports all .NET target framework monikers, including:

• .NET - net5.0, net6.0, net7.0, net8.0, net9.0, net10.0, etc.
• .NET Framework - net48, net472, net471, net462, etc.
• .NET Standard - netstandard2.0, netstandard2.1
• Multi-targeting - You can specify multiple frameworks (e.g., net8.0;net9.0)

Building from Source 🔨

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/babaktaremi/Versionify.git

2. Navigate to the source directory:

   cd Versionify\src

3. Build the project:

   dotnet build

4. Pack as a tool:

   dotnet pack

5. Install locally:

   dotnet tool install --global --add-source ./bin/Debug Versionify

How It Works 🔧

Versionify scans the specified directory for all .csproj files and parses their XML content to extract the <TargetFramework> or <TargetFrameworks> property. When you choose to update frameworks, it modifies the project files directly by updating the XML nodes.
