How do I add a webjob to my aspnet appservice using only the CLI – Asp.net

I am working on macOS with an external text editor (NOT VisualStudio).
I have an asp.net project that I push to my app service using

git push azure main:master
the remote is configured as such https://$name:[email protected]:443/name.git

when I go to the web jobs section in the app service to add a web job, I get the error message:

enter image description here

I want to continue using my source control push method while developing…
however I would also like to add a csharp console webjob .
I have followed the tutorial here (A) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/webjobs-sdk-get-started, and have a functoining console app that consumes a message from a queue.

How can I push this extra console app to my Kudu instance?
I read here that there is a ‘hidden’ structure not in the main doucmentation (A) I linked above for the tutorial: https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/WebJobs.

Do I have to manually zip the result of dotnet publish -c Release to some Kudu folder? Or is there a more elegant way by somehow including this project inside my git repo that I push normally… or using an az cli tool to push the webjob to the app?

    Found a way to push directly using az cli

     az webapp deploy --name $APP_NAME -g $RG 
                  --src-path program.py 
                  --type static 
                  --target-path /home/site/Jobs/continuous/Job$RANDOM/program.py

    for larger programs in .net I just dumped the project on Kudu, unzipped, and rebuilt (I'm on a mac m1 so can't build against x64 without some hoops, this was easier workaround)

     # on my machine
 az webapp deploy --name $APP_NAME -g $RG 
                  --src-path path_to_dotnet_project.zip 
                  --type static 
                  --target-path /home/site/Jobs/continuous/Job5/myproject.zip

    then on the app service (using kudu cmd/powershell)

    cd /home/site/Jobs/continuous/Job5
unzip myproject.zip
dotnet build -c Release
cp bin/release/net6.0/* /home/site/Jobs/continuous/MyNewJob
#job in MyNewJob automatically starts since this is in the 'continuous' folder

    • I created the Web Job and tried to Add it from App service, got the below error.

    • Using Azure CLI, we can deploy our Web Jobs to App Service

    • Web Jobs need to be deployed to the below folder in KUDU Console, Create a folder with Web Job Name in the below path

    app_datajobstriggeredNewFolder
    • Zip all the contents of the Web Job into one folder.
    • wwwroot folder path will be read-only mode, we need to enable it by setting WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE to 1
    • Set the WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE to 1 in WebApp => Configuration => Application Settings or run the CLI command to set it.
    az webapp config appsettings set --resource-group YourRGName --name AppServiceName --settings WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE="1"
    • Zip deploy Web Job to the existing Azure App service
    az webapp deployment source config-zip --resource-group YourRGName --name YourAppService --src YourZipFilePath
    • We can directly drag and drop the Web Jobs Zip folder from the KUDU Console as well

    • We can deploy our Web Jobs in many ways.
      We can FTP / Use Build Pipelines/ Zip Deploy.
