.NET version 8 application manually created with the help of ChatGPT4.

Setup

1. Install SQL Server

Run the setup script to install SQL Server (Docker or native Linux):

./setup.sh

Database (Docker)

If you chose Docker in ./setup.sh, use these commands to manage the SQL Server container:

make db-start
make db-stop
make db-logs

2. Setup .NET tools and build

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef --version 8.*
make check
make migrate

If you're using native SQL Server (not Docker), ensure your connection string is set via User Secrets or an environment variable before running make migrate. See SECRETS.md.
