Quick Overview

NuGet/Home is the central repository for NuGet client and server development. It serves as a hub for tracking issues, discussing features, and coordinating development efforts for the NuGet package manager ecosystem. This repository doesn't contain the actual source code but acts as a central point for NuGet-related discussions and project management.

Pros

  • Centralized location for NuGet-related discussions and issue tracking
  • Provides a clear roadmap and feature planning for NuGet development
  • Encourages community involvement and feedback in the development process
  • Offers comprehensive documentation and guidelines for contributors

Cons

  • Doesn't contain the actual source code, which may confuse some users
  • Can be overwhelming for newcomers due to the large volume of issues and discussions
  • May require following multiple repositories for a complete understanding of NuGet development
  • Some discussions and issues may become outdated or irrelevant over time

Note: As this is not a code library, the code examples and getting started instructions sections have been omitted.

Chocolatey - the package manager for Windows

Pros of Choco

  • Broader scope: Manages system-wide software installations, not just .NET packages
  • Command-line focused: Offers a powerful CLI for package management
  • Supports multiple package types: Can handle various formats, including MSI and EXE

Cons of Choco

  • Less integrated with Visual Studio: NuGet has tighter integration for .NET development
  • Smaller package ecosystem: NuGet has a larger repository of .NET-specific packages
  • Higher system access requirements: Often needs admin privileges for installations

Code Comparison

Choco package installation:

choco install packagename

NuGet package installation:

Install-Package PackageName

Both repositories focus on package management, but Choco is more system-wide and general-purpose, while NuGet is specialized for .NET development. Choco's CLI is more extensive, while NuGet integrates seamlessly with Visual Studio. The code examples show the simplicity of basic package installation in both systems, with Choco using its own CLI and NuGet typically used within the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio.

Squirrel.Windows

An installation and update framework for Windows desktop apps

Pros of Squirrel.Windows

  • Simplified update process with automatic background updates
  • Supports delta updates, reducing download sizes
  • Provides a clean, native Windows installation experience

Cons of Squirrel.Windows

  • Limited to Windows applications only
  • Less flexible than NuGet for managing dependencies across different project types
  • Smaller community and ecosystem compared to NuGet

Code Comparison

Squirrel.Windows (Update process):

using Squirrel;
using (var mgr = new UpdateManager("C:\\Users\\...\\AppData\\Local\\MyApp"))
{
    await mgr.UpdateApp();
}

NuGet (Package installation):

<PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="13.0.1" />

Summary

Squirrel.Windows focuses on simplifying the update and installation process for Windows applications, offering features like automatic updates and delta packages. NuGet, on the other hand, is a more general-purpose package manager for .NET projects, providing a wider range of dependency management capabilities across various project types and platforms. While Squirrel.Windows excels in creating a seamless update experience for end-users, NuGet offers greater flexibility and a larger ecosystem for developers managing project dependencies.

NuGet Home

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 opencode@microsoft.com with any additional questions or comments.
