CSharp REPL: A Command Line C# REPL with Syntax Highlighting
C# REPL
A cross-platform command line REPL for the rapid experimentation and exploration of C#. It supports intellisense, installing NuGet packages, and referencing local .NET projects and assemblies.
(click to view animation)
C# REPL provides the following features:
- Syntax highlighting via ANSI escape sequences
- Intellisense with fly-out documentation
- Nuget package installation
- Reference local assemblies, solutions, and projects
- Navigate to source via Source Link
- IL disassembly (both Debug and Release mode)
- Fast and flicker-free rendering. A "diff" algorithm is used to only render what's changed.
Installation
C# REPL is a .NET 6 global tool, and runs on Windows 10, Mac OS, and Linux. It can be installed via:
dotnet tool install -g csharprepl
If you're running on Mac OS Catalina (10.15) or later, make sure you follow any additional directions printed to the screen. You may need to update your PATH variable in order to use .NET global tools.
After installation is complete, run csharprepl to begin. C# REPL can be updated via dotnet tool update -g csharprepl.
Usage:
Run csharprepl from the command line to begin an interactive session. The default colorscheme uses the color palette defined by your terminal, but these colors can be changed using a theme.json file provided as a command line argument.
Evaluating Code
Type some C# into the prompt and press Enter to run it. The result, if any, will be printed:
> Console.WriteLine("Hello World")
Hello World
> DateTime.Now.AddDays(8)
[6/7/2021 5:13:00 PM]
To evaluate multiple lines of code, use Shift+Enter to insert a newline:
> var x = 5;
var y = 8;
x * y
40
Additionally, if the statement is not a "complete statement" a newline will automatically be inserted when Enter is pressed. For example, in the below code, the first line is not a syntactically complete statement, so when we press enter we'll go down to a new line:
> if (x == 5)
| // caret position, after we press Enter on Line 1
Finally, pressing Ctrl+Enter will show a "detailed view" of the result. For example, for the DateTime.Now expression below, on the first line we pressed Enter, and on the second line we pressed Ctrl+Enter to view more detailed output:
> DateTime.Now // Pressing Enter shows a reasonable representation
[5/30/2021 5:13:00 PM]
> DateTime.Now // Pressing Ctrl+Enter shows a detailed representation
[5/30/2021 5:13:00 PM] {
Date: [5/30/2021 12:00:00 AM],
Day: 30,
DayOfWeek: Sunday,
DayOfYear: 150,
Hour: 17,
InternalKind: 9223372036854775808,
InternalTicks: 637579915804530992,
Kind: Local,

TimeOfDay: [17:13:00.4530992],
Year: 2021,
_dateData: 9860951952659306800
}
A note on semicolons: C# expressions do not require semicolons, but statements do. If a statement is missing a required semicolon, a newline will be added instead of trying to run the syntatically incomplete statement; simply type the semicolon to complete the statement.
> var now = DateTime.Now; // assignment statement, semicolon required
> DateTime.Now.AddDays(8) // expression, we don't need a semicolon
[6/7/2021 5:03:05 PM]
Keyboard Shortcuts
- Basic Usage
- Ctrl+C - Cancel current line
- Ctrl+L - Clear screen
- Enter - Evaluate the current line if it's a syntactically complete statement; otherwise add a newline
- Control+Enter - Evaluate the current line, and return a more detailed representation of the result

- Ctrl+Arrows - Navigate words within text
- Ctrl+Backspace - Delete previous word
- Ctrl+Delete - Delete next word
Adding References
Use the #r command to add assembly or nuget references.
- For assembly references, run
#r "AssemblyName"or#r "path/to/assembly.dll" - For project references, run
#r "path/to/project.csproj". Solution files (.sln) can also be referenced. - For nuget references, run
#r "nuget: PackageName"to install the latest version of a package, or#r "nuget: PackageName, 13.0.5"to install a specific version (13.0.5 in this case).
To run ASP.NET applications inside the REPL, start the csharprepl application with the --framework parameter, specifying the Microsoft.AspNetCore.App shared framework. Then, use the above #r command to reference the application DLL. See the Command Line Configuration section below for more details.
csharprepl --framework Microsoft.AspNetCore.App
Command Line Configuration
The C# REPL supports multiple configuration flags to control startup, behavior, and appearance:
csharprepl [OPTIONS] [response-file.rsp] [script-file.csx] [-- <additional-arguments>]
Supported options are:
- OPTIONS:
-r <dll>or--reference <dll>: Reference an assembly, project file, or nuget package. Can be specified multiple times. Uses the same syntax as#rstatements inside the REPL. For example,csharprepl -r "nuget:Newtonsoft.Json" "path/to/myproj.csproj"- When an assembly or project is referenced, assemblies in the containing directory will be added to the assembly search path. This means that you don't need to manually add references to all of your assembly's dependencies (e.g. other references and nuget packages). Referencing the main entry assembly is enough.
-u <namespace>or--using <namespace>: Add a using statement. Can be specified multiple times.-f <framework>or--framework <framework>: Reference a shared framework. The available shared frameworks depends on the local .NET installation, and can be useful when running an ASP.NET application from the REPL. Example frameworks are:- Microsoft.NETCore.App (default)
- Microsoft.AspNetCore.All
- Microsoft.AspNetCore.App
- Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App
-t <theme.json>or--theme <theme.json>: Read a theme file for syntax highlighting. This theme file associates C# syntax classifications with colors. The color values can be full RGB, or ANSI color names (defined in your terminal's theme). The NO_COLOR standard is supported.--trace: Produce a trace file in the current directory that logs CSharpRepl internals. Useful for CSharpRepl bug reports.-vor--version: Show version number and exit.-hor--help: Show help and exit.
response-file.rsp: A filepath of an .rsp file, containing any of the above command line options.script-file.csx: A filepath of a .csx file, containing lines of C# to evaluate before starting the REPL. Arguments to this script can be passed as<additional-arguments>, after a double hyphen (--), and will be available in a globalargsvariable.
If you have dotnet-suggest enabled, all options can be tab-completed, including values provided to --framework and .NET namespaces provided to --using.
Integrating with other software
C# REPL is a standalone software application, but it can be useful to integrate it with other developer tools:
Windows Terminal
To add C# REPL as a menu entry in Windows Terminal, add the following profile to Windows Terminal's settings.json configuration file (under the JSON property profiles.list):
{
"name": "C# REPL",
"commandline": "csharprepl"
},
To get the exact colors shown in the screenshots in this README, install the Windows Terminal Dracula theme.
Visual Studio Code
To use the C# REPL with Visual Studio Code, simply run the csharprepl command in the Visual Studio Code terminal. To send commands to the REPL, use the built-in Terminal: Run Selected Text In Active Terminal command from the Command Palette (workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText).
Windows OS
To add the C# REPL to the Windows Start Menu for quick access, you can run the following PowerShell command, which will start C# REPL in Windows Terminal:
$shell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
$shortcut = $shell.CreateShortcut("$env:appdata\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\csharprepl.lnk")
$shortcut.TargetPath = "wt.exe"
$shortcut.Arguments = "-w 0 nt csharprepl.exe"
$shortcut.Save()
You may also wish to add a shorter alias for C# REPL, which can be done by creating a .cmd file somewhere on your path. For example, put the following contents in C:\Users\username\.dotnet\tools\csr.cmd:
wt -w 0 nt csharprepl
This will allow you to launch C# REPL by running csr from anywhere that accepts Windows commands, like the Window Run dialog.
Comparison with other REPLs
This project is far from being the first REPL for C#. Here are some other projects; if this project doesn't suit you, another one might!
Visual Studio's C# Interactive pane is full-featured (it has syntax highlighting and intellisense) and is part of Visual Studio. This deep integration with Visual Studio is both a benefit from a workflow perspective, and a drawback as it's not cross-platform. As far as I know, the C# Interactive pane does not support NuGet packages or navigating to documentation/source code. Subjectively, it does not follow typical command line keybindings, so can feel a bit foreign.
csi.exe ships with C# and is a command line REPL. It's great because it's a cross platform REPL that comes out of the box, but it doesn't support syntax highlighting or autocompletion.
dotnet script allows you to run C# scripts from the command line. It has a REPL built-in, but the predominant focus seems to be as a script runner. It's a great tool, though, and has a strong community following.
dotnet interactive is a tool from Microsoft that creates a Jupyter notebook for C#, runnable through Visual Studio Code. It also provides a general framework useful for running REPLs.

Top Tips for Learning Java Programming
If you’re here for the top tips, we assume you’re ahead of the “how to learn Java” part and already boarded on your flight of learning Java. In this lesson, apart from just throwing some do’s and don’ts, we’ll be asking some basic questions that will help you align your path with what’s best for you.
Are you following a plan?
Determining your goal and creating a learning strategy is more significant than you can probably think of. Your ambition, execution, and consistency can make or break your career. So if you want to become a full-time Java Developer shadowing a layout/map goes without saying.
Are you a master of the basics?
Mastering the basics doesn’t necessarily mean learning syntax by heart and not be able to do anything with it. It actually means you’re comfortable working with keywords, know the language protocols, smartly use variables and loops. Know how to choose a data structure depending upon a certain problem. Able to implement object orient approach, since Java is an object-oriented language. Understand encapsulation and how to tamper with it. With this much content freely available widely on the web, newbies are most likely to fell prey to learn more in a shorter period of time. However, you need to understand you can’t build a sustainable building over a weak foundation. Hence, it’s forever helpful to give due time to all the concepts in order to truly “master” them.
