.NET Docs

This repository contains the conceptual documentation for .NET. The .NET documentation site is built from multiple repositories in addition to this one:

• API reference
• .NET Compiler Platform SDK reference

Issues and tasks for all but the API reference repository are tracked here. We have a large community using these resources. We make our best effort to respond to issues in a timely fashion. You can read more about our procedures for classifying and resolving issues in our Issues policy topic. To create a new issue, choose from any of the available templates.

💜 Contribute

We welcome contributions to help us improve and complete the .NET docs. This is a very large repo, covering a large area. If this is your first visit, see our labels and projects roadmap for help navigating the issues and projects in this repository. If your contribution includes third-party dependencies, see our guidance on using third-party dependencies.

To contribute, see:
