'VS2019 copy project within solution to use as starting point for new project

Hi I have a VS2019 solution that contains multiple projects, some are class libraries and some are commandline apps

I want to start a new commandline app but would like to base it on an existing app in the solution.

Is there any easy way to do this? Or do I just have to start the new project and then labouriously copy all the references, progrma.cs etc etc...

If thats the case then fine.. I am just wondering if I am missing a trick here, maybe this is something people do a lot?

Thanks
