Configure Log4Net in a .NET Core app

Here is a simple configuration without using dependency injection - for that there is a dedicated NuGet package. This is most useful if some dependent library is using log4net, while the main application may use other logging library.

public static class Log4NetSetup
{
    public static void SetLog4NetConfiguration()
    {
         XmlDocument log4netConfig = new ();
         log4netConfig.Load(File.OpenRead("log4net.config"));

         var repo = LogManager.CreateRepository(
                Assembly.GetEntryAssembly(), typeof(log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Hierarchy));

         log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(repo, log4netConfig["log4net"]);
         
    }
}
