About:
NuGet is the package manager for the Microsoft development platform, including .NET. It enables developers to discover, install, and manage dependencies in their projects seamlessly. With a vast ecosystem of libraries, it streamlines building and sharing reusable code.
Key Features:
  • Dependency management for .NET projects
  • Command-line interface (CLI) for automation
  • Integration with Visual Studio and MSBuild
  • Public and private package hosting (NuGet.org)
Use Cases:
  • Installing third-party libraries into .NET applications
  • Creating and publishing custom packages to NuGet.org
  • Managing private packages for enterprise teams
Alternatives:
  • npm – Node.js package manager; similar dependency management but for JavaScript ecosystem
  • Maven – Java build and dependency management tool; comparable scope but XML-based configuration
