The quickest way to run the kit today is to clone the repo and start it with .NET Aspire.
1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/fullstackhero/dotnet-starter-kit.git MyAppcd MyAppA clone keeps the original FSH.Starter project names — it doesn’t rename the solution. Once the CLI ships, fsh new MyApp will scaffold a fully renamed project (and fsh doctor will verify your environment first).
2. Run
dotnet run --project src/Host/FSH.Starter.AppHostAspire brings up Postgres and Valkey containers, wires connection strings, launches the API host, and enables OTLP export. Open the Aspire dashboard to watch services start; the API serves at https://localhost:5285 with OpenAPI and Scalar at /scalar/v1.

- Install — every install path (GitHub template, Codespaces, and the upcoming CLI +
dotnet newtemplate). - Architecture — the modular monolith + VSA mental model.
- CLI — every
fshcommand and option (coming soon).
