Low Ceremony Initializing Clean ASP.NET Core Project with EF Core and Identity

In this video, you will learn the steps to apply to initialize a brand-new project that utilizes ASP.NET Core Razor pages, backed by Entity Framework Core on the SQL Server, and authenticated using Identity. The end result of the sequence of steps demonstrated in this video is the Web application project which can evolve using different architectural patterns and styles, yet the project which has all the mandatory elements in place at its outset.
All operations required to initialize the solution and the project, and to add package references to it have been exercised using CLI tools. You can find the list of all commands issued below. Combine this script with the content of the video to bootstrap a new Web application project in time no longer than 5-10 minutes.
