Build tools like gradle and maven, for the Java platform allows you to clean and build in a single command, e.g. gradle clean build.

When this is possible with the MSBuild command why not with dotnet?

dotnet msbuild -t:Rebuild

[baronfel]

correct - the current way to get this functionality would be dotnet msbuild /t:Rebuild, but it's reasonable to have a first-class rebuild since we expose other common commands like build, publish, and clean. In the ongoing dotnet CLI survey many responses have asked for more first-class commands that 'hide' or wrap the underlying MSBuild, which I think is reasonable UX.

[egvijayanand]

Using MSBuild is like a fallback for classic Franken (non-SDK) style projects.

When it comes to SDK-style projects, dotnet commands should be the de facto.

Hope this gets prioritized.
