Collection of Nuget Packages - Install In A Group

Question

Is there a way to create a list of nuget packages that you commonly use, in my case Serilog and then the additional extensions for that.

Is there a way to be able to install all the packages in one go instead of having to search for and install each package one by one?

Answer 1

One method is to create a new project, add dependencies, in this case NuGet packages then under the project menu in Visual Studio select Export Template, select Project template and follow the prompts.

When naming the project template give the project template a meaningful name.

After completing these steps the template is available under add new projects.

Here is an example of custom templates under VS2019 that are pinned for easy access.
