How to build from source?

[ClaytonHughes]

Hi. I'm trying to build the CLI tool from source, so I can test some changes I want to make. I couldn't find any documentation on how to create artifacts other than what's at https://github.com/GitTools/GitVersion/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#release-process (which boils down to "GitHub Workflows does it"). I've been trying with Windows since it was the easiest place to update my .NET SDK version, but I'm happy to build it in a Docker container or WSL or whatever.

I've tried a few things, including build.ps1, but that doesn't seem to be the correct route to go out of the box:

Tool gitreleasemanager.tool is already installed, with required version.
Tool wyam2 is already installed, with required version.

----------------------------------------
Setup
----------------------------------------
Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.
Possible reasons for this include:
  * You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
  * You intended to execute a .NET program, but dotnet-D:/path/to/repo/tools/gitversion.dll does not exist.
  * You intended to run a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.

Ah-ha! I figured something out: dotnet build ./src/GitVersion.sln and then the binaries are in .src/GitVersion.App/bin/. In retrospect, I suppose that should have been obvious.
