We have the need to do some things to our assemblies before we want to packaged them up in an Electron app. For example, digitally signing the files.

It would be nice if we could tell electronize build to skip running dotnet publish and do the rest. This way I can run dotnet publish myself, with all the necessary arguments, then do my post build/publish work to my files, then call electronize build to build the Electron application.

Looking at the Electron CLI, it looks like there is no way to skip the publish step, so I believe all of my assemblies will get overwritten.

@GregorBiswanger @Delpire I am using ElectronNET.API v23.6.2.0 and .NET 6 and trying to skip dotnet publish in electronize build but I'm not sure how to do this. The code here does not seem to skip the dotnet publish step ever: 21c17dc82b/src/ElectronNET.CLI/Commands/BuildCommand.cs (L142)
