Your Library

An awesome template for your awesome library

Features

• Follow the best and simplest patterns of build, pack and test with dotnet CLI.
• Init script that installs prerequisites and auth helpers, supporting both non-elevation and elevation modes.
• Static analyzers: FxCop and StyleCop
• Read-only source tree (builds to top-level bin/obj folders)
• Auto-versioning (via Nerdbank.GitVersioning)
• Builds with a "pinned" .NET Core SDK to ensure reproducible builds across machines and across time.
• Automatically pack the library and publish it as an artifact, and even push it to some NuGet feed for consumption.
• Testing
  • Testing on .NET Framework, multiple .NET Core versions
  • Testing on Windows, Linux and OSX
  • Tests that crash or hang in Azure Pipelines automatically collect dumps and publish as a pipeline artifact for later investigation.
• Cloud build support
  • YAML based build for long-term serviceability, and PR review opportunities for any changes.
  • Azure Pipelines and GitHub Action support
  • Emphasis on PowerShell scripts over reliance on tasks for a more locally reproducible build.
  • Code coverage published to Azure Pipelines
  • Code coverage published to codecov.io so GitHub PRs get code coverage results added as a PR comment
