Maybe this is super obvious and I just can't find it but how can I create a .NET Core project in Visual Studio (2015 or, preferably, 2013)? I just want to run a console application on a Linux machine. The documentation at on the .NET Core github page is incomplete and anything from Microsoft provides little-to-no help.
Bonus points if you can also tell me an easier way to run the application from my Linux command line other than dotnet run while sitting in the directory of the application.
