Razor Tooling is the open-source implementation for the [Razor](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/razor-pages) IDE experience in ASP.NET Core. It contains tools for working on Razor ASP.NET Core apps using [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.com), [Visual Studio for Mac](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/mac/), and [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/).
All work on Razor Tooling happens directly on GitHub. Both core team members and external contributors send pull requests which go through the same review process. Some of the best ways to contribute are to try things out, [file issues](https://github.com/dotnet/razor-tooling/issues/new/choose), join in design conversations,
