ASP.Net Core development using Linux

Sam Hobbs

Is it realistic to maintain ASP.Net Core websites using Linux but not using VS Code (Visual Studio does not work in Linux). I do see articles showing how to use the dotnet command in Linux to generate an ASP.Net Core project but they are very basic. Is anyone maintaining an ASP.Net Core website using an IDE such as Eclipse? A complete website that uses EF (or another ORM) and stuff like that? I am interested in switching to Linux but I do not want to spend a lot of time learning how to use an IDE such as Eclipse for ASP.Net Core websites if such a thing is impractical and not being done.

Is anyone familiar with a production ASP.Net Core website maintained using an IDE other than VS, VS Code and JetBrains Rider?
In theory it should work. Supposedly. But if no one is doing it then that indicates it is not practical.

As Sachin said, you can use CLI or VS Code. You don't need other IDE. I would say, VS Code is your best best.

Sir,
With CLI, we can do almost everything that we do with VS Code/ Studio. Ofcourse, Visual Studio has no comparision.
example:- API
dotnet new webapi -o api
for Https
dotnet dev-certs https
for EF
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef --version 3.1.9
dotnet ef -h
dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate
for build under debug
dotnet build --configuration Debug
unit tests
dotnet test --configuration Release --no-build
