I have a completed project created by ASP.Net Core 3.1 on my PC using VS 2019 on windows. Let's call it "Source Project". and I can publish it to a folder while target framework is .NetCore-3.1 and target runtime is Linux-64, let's call it "Published
version"
I have a virtual machine "Ubuntu server" as my localhost. And this is my question: Why should I upload Published version to my server and run it , while I can upload complete source project and run it on my Ubuntu server successfully without any publish?
Only some codes are different like "dotnet run" vs "dotnet Myproject.dll" but the code works truely in both cases.
In the other hand, I have a source project folder containing : { myProject.sln , MainApplication Folder, DataLayer Folder, ... }. Then I can copy this whole directory to my linux server and just run the following code in MainApplication Folder and
the program starts succesfully :
dotnet run
I feel no need to published version at the moment but maybe there are some reasons that we can publish a project. I searched a lot but all the places just saying how to do that and no body says why to do that while source code is running too ..
