Hint: Add command alias

You can easily set command alias in Unix, for example:

alias spot='dotnet ~/projects/spotify-linux-published/Spotify.Console.dll'

From now on you can just type spot --help. Note that this is temporal alias (will be lost on reboot). To create permament alias follow simple 5-steps tutorial: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/create-permanent-bash-alias-linux-unix/
