.NET default templates for dotnet new
When you install the .NET SDK (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download), you receive over a
dozen built-in templates for creating projects and files, including console apps, class
libraries, unit test projects, ASP.NET Core apps (including Angular (https://angular.io/)
and React (https://reactjs.org/) projects), and configuration files. To list the built-in
templates, run the dotnet new command with the -l|--list option:
dotnet new --list
The following table shows the templates that come pre-installed with the .NET SDK. The
default language for the template is shown inside the brackets. Click on the short name
link to see the specific template options.

Template options
Each template may have additional options available. The core templates have the
following additional options:
console
• -f|--framework <FRAMEWORK>
Specifies the framework to target. Available since .NET Core 3.0 SDK.
The following table lists the default values according to the SDK version number you’re
using:
SDK version Default value
────────────────────────────
5.0 net5.0
3.1 netcoreapp3.1
3.0 netcoreapp3.0
The ability to create a project for an earlier TFM depends on having that version of the
SDK installed. For example, if you have only SDK 5.0 installed, then the only value
available for --framework is net5.0. If you install SDK 3.1, the value netcoreapp3.1
becomes available for --framework. If you install SDK 2.1, netcoreapp2.1 becomes
available, and so on. So by specifying --framework netcoreapp2.1 you can use SDK 2.1
even while running dotnet new in SDK 5.0.
Alternatively, to create a project that targets a framework earlier than the SDK that
you’re using, you might be able to do it by installing the NuGet package for the
template. Common
(https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Microsoft.DotNet.Common.ProjectTemplates), web
(https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Microsoft.DotNet.Web.ProjectTemplates), and SPA
(https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Microsoft.DotNet.Web.Spa.ProjectTemplates) project
types use different packages per target framework moniker (TFM). For example, to create
a console project that targets netcoreapp1.0, run dotnet new --install on
Microsoft.DotNet.Common.ProjectTemplates.1.x.
• --langVersion <VERSION_NUMBER>
Sets the LangVersion property in the created project file. For example, use
--langVersion 7.3 to use C# 7.3. Not supported for F#. Available since .NET Core 2.2
SDK.
For a list of default C# versions, see Defaults.
• --no-restore
If specified, doesn’t execute an implicit restore during project creation. Available
since .NET Core 2.2 SDK.
* * * * *

• -f|--framework <FRAMEWORK>
Specifies the framework to target. Values: net5.0 or netcoreapp<version> to create a

To create a project that targets a framework earlier than the SDK that you’re using, see
--framework for console projects earlier in this article.
