Do I need NuGet package explorer with .NET CORE?


I am very very new to both NuGet and .NET core. I was wondering how to create Nuget pakages while upgrading my code-base from classic .NET to CORE and I think I came across two tutorials

  1. Using .NET CORE CLI dotnet command
  2. I was going through a Pluralsight tutorial and they mentioned NuGet Package Explorer

Now, My questions is that with advent of dotnet command in CORE CLI, how relevant is NuGet Package Explorer if my needs are very limited to creating and publishing packages?


Solution

  • NuGet Package Explorer is a GUI tool for opening and displaying the contents of NuGet packages. It can also be used to create NuGet packages. However, using the NuGet command line tool is much simpler. Using NuGet Package Explorer is entirely optional. It's just a tool that some people find useful.

    .NET Core is orthogonal to NuGet Package Explorer and the advent of .NET Core does not change the usefulness of NuGet Package Manager.
