• Clone or download this repository into a parent folder at $HOME/maui-previews.
• Configure a classic GitHub PAT with full "repo" scope, and enable SSO for the xamarin org.
  • Save this token in a file named github.token in a tokens folder in your dogfood root folder (e.g. maui-previews/tokens).
• For internal shipping feeds, you will need to generate a dnceng PAT with "Packaging" -> "Read" scope.
  • Save your user name and token in a file named dnceng.token in a tokens folder in your dogfood root folder (e.g. maui-previewer/tokens). The file should look like this:

    foo@bar.com
    token
    

Your directory tree will end up looking like this:

maui-previews
├── _cache
├── _logs
├── _temp
├── dotnet
├── maui-dogfood
└── tokens
    └── github.token
    └── dnceng.token

• Visit the .NET Release Tracker to find the .NET SDK artifacts and feed for the release you want to dogfood.

• Run the tool/app, set the path to the preview SDK you downloaded, and select the Android, MaciOS, and Maui commits you want to install.
• Create a template, build it, and run it using the ./maui-previews/dotnet/dotnet tool.

• Edit ~/.zprofile (or your preferred shell profile) to prefix $PATH with this dotnet install path:

  # Use maui-previews dotnet
  export PATH="$HOME/maui-previews/dotnet:$PATH"
  

• Open VS Code from the command line with code . in your test project folder.
