dotnet-scaffold telemetry
The dotnet-scaffold command includes a telemetry feature that collects usage data. This feature helps the dotnet-scaffold team understand how the tool is used so it can be improved.
How to opt out
The dotnet-scaffold telemetry feature is enabled by default. To opt out of the telemetry feature, set the DOTNET_SCAFFOLD_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT environment variable to 1 or true.
Disclosure
When you run the dotnet-scaffold tool the first time, it displays output similar to the following example. The text may vary slightly depending on the version of the tool you're running. This "first run" experience is how Microsoft notifies you about data collection.
dotnet-scaffold collects usage data in order to help us improve your experience. The data is collected by Microsoft and shared with the community. You can opt-out of telemetry by setting the DOTNET_SCAFFOLD_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT environment variable to '1' or 'true' using your favorite shell.

To suppress the "first run" experience text, set the DOTNET_SCAFFOLD_SKIP_FIRST_TIME_EXPERIENCE environment variable to 1 or true.

The telemetry feature doesn't collect:
- Personal data, such as usernames, email addresses, or URLs.
- Any project data.
The data is sent securely to Microsoft servers and held under restricted access.
