Is there anyway to do the publish/deploy part of a /p:DeployOnBuild=true call to MSBuild? For instance, doing the build in one call, then the publish (file copy) in another call.
There is an issue with MSBuild 15 and publish profiles when called from command line.

You can use the created profile to publish from the command line with a command line the following. If you want to store the publish profile (. pubxml file) in some other location you can pass in the path as the value for the PublishProfile property. Publish profiles are MSBuild files.
Cleaning up specific projects: msbuild MyProjectFile1 /t:Clean msbuild MyProjectFile2 /t:Clean ... This has to be repeated for all projects you need to clean, because MSBuild only accepts single project on command line.
Is it possible to build an application on a system if the MSBuild is not installed? If so, How? Yes, it is actually possible because the MSBuild doesn't depend on the Visual Studio of its operations. Users simply need to install the msbuild.exe file for this.
Visual Studio determines the build order and calls into MSBuild separately (as needed), all completely under Visual Studio's control. Another difference arises when MSBuild is invoked with a solution file, MSBuild parses the solution file, creates a standard XML input file, evaluates it, and executes it as a project.
A post on Github addressing the same concern raised by you has provided a solution.
You can find documentation on how to use PublishProfiles from commandline here - https://github.com/aspnet/websdk#folder-publish
Here is a sample project with a PublishProfile: https://github.com/vijayrkn/dotnetpublishprofilesample/blob/7dac43543173b4ce908921106cc84d810c6dc623/WebPublishCommandlineSample/Properties/PublishProfiles/SampleFolderProfile.pubxml
MSBuild command to publish to a folder using the above publish profile: https://github.com/vijayrkn/dotnetpublishprofilesample/blob/7dac43543173b4ce908921106cc84d810c6dc623/PublishCommandline.txt
I would be happy to take a look at the issue if some one can provide me a sample project & msbuild command that is not working.

Hope it provides the needed information
Note: issue was fixed by Microsoft - https://github.com/dotnet/cli/pull/8996 as part of 2.1.3xx milestone
