创建自己的Package Manager控制台命令？

Question

I'd like to include custom Package Manager Console commands with my NuGet Package. Just like EF-Core is doing recently to generate the context for example. How can this be done without having to use the default folder "... Documents\\WindowsPowerShell\\NuGet_profile.ps1"? I want to generate classes via console so I do not have to develop a Visual Studio extension for it. Thank you!

You would pack .pds1/.psm1 files into a tools directory inside the NuGet package. Which are automatically available inside the Package Manager Console (the tools folder will be added to the PATH environment variable).

You can download and inspect the Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools for reference, since this is the package that provides the Entity Framework Core commands.
