Add project reference

$ dotnet add reference [../Other/Other.csproj]

$ dotnet add reference [../Lib1/Lib1.csproj] [../Lib2/Lib2.csproj]

$ dotnet add [src/App/App.csproj] reference [../Lib/Lib.csproj]

dotnet add [project] reference projectpath... [options_]

dotnet add reference adds project-to-project (P2P) references to a project file, creating build-time dependencies between projects in a solution. Referenced projects are automatically built before the referencing project, ensuring correct build order.
P2P references enable code sharing within a solution while maintaining clear dependency boundaries. The command modifies the project file to include the reference path, which can be relative or absolute.

-f, --framework framework

Add reference only for specific framework.
