Welcome to Skylark

Skylark is a collection of tools and resources that can help with developing .NET projects. It is designed to be lightweight, easy to use, and not too complicated or resource-intensive. It can be useful for developers who are new to .NET or who want to quickly set up a new project without having to spend a lot of time configuring everything from scratch.
