SlimJim

=====

SlimJim genereates Visual Studio solution files that include related projects from disparate repositories.

To install SlimJim, run the following command in the [NuGet](http://nuget.org/) Package Manager Console

    PM> Install-Package SlimJim

SlimJim is meant to be invoked from the command line. It will search a given directory recursively for .csproj files, and include them in a new solution file if:

* The name matches one of the target project files.

* The project has a dependency on one or more of the target project files.

* One of the target project files has a dependency on it.

* Any project to be included in the solution has a reference to it. 

Invocation

----------

* `--target ProjectName`				Required; include one or more target projects in your solution. All dependencies will be included for them. Repeat switch for multiple targets.

* `--root C:\Projects\Root`				Optional; indicates the directory which contains the root project that you want to build a solution file for. Defaults to the working directory.

* `--search C:\Additional\Search\Path`  Optional; specify one or more directories to search for projects that depend on or are depdended on by the target projects.

* `--out SolnDir` 						Optional; specify a directory other than the working or target directory to write the generated solution file.

* `--version 2008`         				Optional; supported versions: 2008, 2010 (default).

* `--name SolutionName`                 Optional; alternate name for generated solution file. If omitted, defaults to target project name.

* `--all`								Optional; indicates that all efferent assembly references should be included in the solution. By default, they are omitted.

* `--ignore`							Optional; indicates that directories with names matching the given regex pattern will be ignored. Repeat for multiple patterns.

* `--open`								Optional; opens the solution in Visual Studio after generating it.

* `--convert`							Optional; modifies relevant csproj files to use Project References instead of Assembly References.

* `--unconvert`							Optional; reverses changes made by --convert flag.

* `--fixhintpaths`						Optional; adjust HintPath metadata in relevant csproj files to point to directory relative to generated Solution.

* `--restorehintpaths`					Optional; reverses changes made by --fixhintpaths flag.

Upcoming features

-----------------

* .slim file in your projects root directory can contain details for generation of one or more solution files. This will allow for simple invocation, e.g. "C:\MyProjects>slimjim".

Known issues

* No error handling
