Compact Avalonia developer utilities collection.

Build:

dotnet build Tools.slnx

Run (from IDE or CLI):

dotnet run --project src/Tools/Tools.csproj

This repository includes a GitHub Actions workflow that builds the application and generates a Windows installer using Inno Setup. The workflow is defined in .github/workflows/build-installer.yml.

How it works:

• Restores and builds the solution with .NET 10
• Publishes self-contained x64 builds of both Tools and DevTools
• Installs Inno Setup on the runner and compiles setup.iss
• Uploads the generated installer as a workflow artifact
• When triggered by a tag (for example v1.0.0) the workflow will also create a GitHub Release and attach the installer

DevTools.exe is the supervisor: it launches Tools.exe and hosts the named pipe server the GUI uses. The installer places both in the same folder and the Start Menu / Desktop shortcuts launch DevTools.exe, which starts Tools.exe automatically.

Triggering a release (example):

git tag v1.0.0
git push origin v1.0.0

You can also run the workflow manually from the Actions tab (workflow dispatch).

Notes:

• The installer is produced without code signing.
• The Inno Setup script is setup.iss at the repository root.
