Femto as a local tool?

I think the use of global tools with dotnet will be deprecated. Will this apply to femto as well?

Hi Casper,

Femto already supports being installed as a local dotnet tool. You can install it locally in your project/solution like this

dotnet new tool-manifest
dotnet tool install femto 

then use it with dotnet

dotnet femto {args}

Ok, great. So, this should be the recommended way?

Yeah I can add it to the docs to show how to install as a local tool but that doesn't mean that global tools are going away any time soon. Especially in the context of Femto, it makes sense to use it as a global tool on development machines because the functionality is not specific to a single project
