# Runnable Recipe Examples

This folder contains standalone, executable C# examples for each cookbook recipe. These are [file-based apps](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk/file-based-apps) that can be run directly with `dotnet run`.

## Prerequisites

- .NET 10.0 or later
- GitHub Copilot SDK package (referenced automatically)

## Running Examples

Each `.cs` file is a complete, runnable program. Simply use:

```bash
dotnet run <filename>.cs
```

dotnet run managing-local-files.cs
```

## File-Based Apps

These examples use .NET's file-based app feature, which allows single-file C# programs to:

- Run without a project file
- Automatically reference common packages
- Support top-level statements
