title: How do I actually create a .NET Core project in Visual Studio?
body: <p>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 <a href="https://dotnet.github.io/docs/getting-started/index.html" rel="noreferrer">.NET Core github page</a> is incomplete and anything from Microsoft provides little-to-no help. </p>
  
  <p>Bonus points if you can also tell me an easier way to run the application from my Linux command line other than <code>dotnet run</code> while sitting in the directory of the application.</p>
