Set-Item Env:\UMBRACO__CMS__GLOBAL__INSTALLMISSINGDATABASE true
Set-Item Env:\UMBRACO__CMS__UNATTENDED__INSTALLUNATTENDED true

The reason we're setting env variables here is that we don't want the default credentials to end up in appsettings.Development.json - that one would be committed to git and available forever.

These variables get cleared when you restart Powershell, so they only count for 1 session.

Thanks for sharing, great way to install Umbraco, found a snippet from @ronaldbarendse on Discord als well to use local DB instead of a SQL Server Instance. The two combined wil really speed up creating test sites for me, so both #h5yr

dotnet new umbraco -n UmbracoUnattended --connection-string "Server=(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Umbraco.mdf;Integrated Security=true"
