ILRepack is an open-source command-line tool that merges multiple .NET assemblies into a single assembly, serving as a replacement for the discontinued ILMerge. It is built on a fork of Mono.Cecil and is available as a NuGet package or a dotnet global tool.

Use cases

  • merge multiple .net dlls into one assembly
  • bundle dependencies into a single exe
  • open-source alternative to ilmerge
  • combine .net assemblies for easier deployment
  • repack nuget library into single file
  • merge assemblies in a build pipeline

When to choose

  • you need to merge .NET assemblies and want an open-source, customizable tool
  • ILMerge is too slow or resource-heavy for your build
  • you want ILMerge-compatible syntax with extra options like wildcards
  • you prefer installing tools via dotnet tool or NuGet

When to avoid

  • you target non-.NET platforms or languages
  • you need merging of obfuscated or signed assemblies with complex scenarios without testing
  • you only need simple dependency trimming rather than merging
