We welcome you to try things out, file issues, make feature requests and join us in design conversations. Be sure to check out our project documentation
This project has adopted the .NET Foundation Code of Conduct to clarify expected behavior in our community.
Start with the Developer Guide.
To test your locally built SDK, run eng\dogfood.cmd after building. That script starts a new Powershell with the environment configured to redirect SDK resolution to your build.
From that shell your SDK is available in:
- any Visual Studio instance launched via
& devenv.exe dotnet buildmsbuild
With the SDK repository being the home for many different areas, we've started trying to label incoming issues for the area they are related to using Area- labels. Then we rely on the codeowners to manage and triages issues in their areas. Feel free to contact the owners listed in that file if you're not getting a response on a particular issue or PR. Please try to label new issues as that'll help us route them faster.
For PRs, we assign a reviewer once a week on Wednesday, looking only at PRs that are green in the build. If you are contributing:
- Get the PR green.
- Include a test if possible.
- Mention
@dotnet-cliif you want to raise visibility of the PR.
