The Home repository is the starting point for people to learn about NuGet, the project. If you're new to NuGet, and want to add packages to your own projects, check our docs. This repo contains pointers to the various GitHub repositories used by NuGet and allows folks to learn more about what's coming in NuGet.
NuGet is being actively developed by the .NET Foundation. NuGet is the package manager for the Microsoft development platform including .NET. The NuGet client tools provide the ability to produce and consume packages. The NuGet Gallery is the central package repository used by all package authors and consumers and has a live deployment at www.nuget.org.
This project has adopted the Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct. For more information see the Code of Conduct FAQ or contact [email protected] with any additional questions or comments.
The NuGet Docs are the ideal place to start if you are new to NuGet. They are categorized in 3 broader topics:
- Consume NuGet packages in your projects;
- Create NuGet packages to learn about packaging and publishing your own NuGet Packages;
- Contribute to NuGet gives an overview of how you can contribute to the various NuGet projects.
The NuGet Blog is where we announce new features, write engineering blog posts, demonstrate proof-of-concepts and features under development.

We dogfood all of our stuff. NuGet uses NuGet to build NuGet, so to speak. All of our NuGet packages, which you can use in your own projects as well, are available from our NuGet.org profile page.
If you're having trouble with the NuGet.org Website, file a bug on the NuGet Gallery Issue Tracker.
