TODO
In theory, all you should have to do is to fork this repository, clone in Visual Studio, then build the project.
Once the build is successful if you navigate to the output directory which should look something like
C:\<Path to your local repository>\Mutant\bin\Release\netcoreapp2.1 you should be able to run the program
using the command dotnet Mutant.dll.
