package-management

separate

Manage NuGet packages using Central Package Management (CPM) and dotnet CLI commands. Never edit XML directly - use dotnet add/remove/list commands. Use shared version variables for related packages.

When to use

• Adding, removing, or updating NuGet packages
• Setting up Central Package Management (CPM) for a solution
• Managing package versions across multiple projects
• Troubleshooting package conflicts or restore issues

When not to use

• Existing version conflicts become visible all at once
• Some packages may have intentional version differences
• Migration requires touching many files simultaneously
• **.NET SDK 6.0.300+** or later
• **NuGet 6.2+** or later
• **Visual Studio 2022 17.2+** or later
