How to change a MSBuild Property outside of the csproj in Visual Studio so it doesn't get into-CodePudding

Following my previous question, I want to change TargetFrameworks for each developer on their machine only. However, I cannot find anyway to modify it without pushing something into our Git source control. Assuming we have a dev who works on Android and one who works on iOS, how should we do that?

Currently I can use Environment Variable but changes are not applied until VS is restarted and cleaning the project always results in some strange error until the 2nd restart.

        <TargetFrameworks></TargetFrameworks>
        <TargetFrameworks Condition="$(MAUI_BUILD.Contains('win'))">$(TargetFrameworks);net7.0-windows10.0.19041.0</TargetFrameworks>
        <TargetFrameworks Condition="$(MAUI_BUILD.Contains('and'))">$(TargetFrameworks);net7.0-android</TargetFrameworks>
        <TargetFrameworks Condition="$(MAUI_BUILD.Contains('ios'))">$(TargetFrameworks);net7.0-ios</TargetFrameworks>
        <TargetFrameworks Condition="$(MAUI_BUILD.Contains('mac'))">$(TargetFrameworks);net7.0-maccatalyst</TargetFrameworks>
        <TargetFrameworks Condition="$(MAUI_BUILD.Length)==0">$(TargetFrameworks);net7.0-windows10.0.19041.0;net7.0-android;net7.0-ios;net7.0-maccatalyst</TargetFrameworks>

Is there a better way to accomplish this? If possible, I'd like to have it to be project-specific. For example we may have a TargetConfig.txt file in our project folder for example and we add that file into our .gitignore. Or something like project.Development.csproj like web.config transformation would be great too.

Note that the solution need to work on VS for Mac as well though I think there's no difference between MSBuild on Windows and Mac.

UPDATE: somehow my environment variable workaround doesn't even work on MacOS.

CodePudding user response：

Add .user to your .gitignore. Add a file with the name of your project and the .user extension as a peer of the project file.

e.g.

project1\
  project1.csproj
  project1.csproj.user

Place the per-user customizations in the .user file.
