SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Centralizes NuGet package versions across multi-project .NET solutions by applying Central Package Management (CPM) and dotnet CLI workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized version control: Define and reuse a single source of truth for package versions to avoid conflicts.
  • CPM-driven migration: Guides migrating from per-project versioning to CPM with safe, incremental steps.
  • Solution-wide validation: Provides commands and checks to verify CPM is active and all projects reference centralized versions.

Quick Start

Install CPM, create Directory.Packages.props at the solution root, and begin migrating projects to CPM with dotnet restore.

FAQPage Schema
What is Central Package Management in .NET and when do I need it?▼

Central Package Management (CPM) defines a single source of truth for NuGet package versions across a multi-project .NET solution. You need CPM to avoid version conflicts and simplify dependency updates when managing multiple projects simultaneously.

How do I migrate multi-project .NET solutions to centralized NuGet versions?▼

To migrate to centralized NuGet versions, create a Directory.Packages.props file at your solution root, enable CPM, and incrementally update project references to remove local versions. Validate the migration by running dotnet restore to ensure all projects reference the centralized versions.

Can I use dotnet CLI to manage Central Package Management for multi-project solutions?▼

Yes, dotnet CLI supports Central Package Management workflows for multi-project solutions. You use dotnet restore to validate that CPM is active and verify all projects correctly reference the centralized package versions defined in your Directory.Packages.props file.

What is the best way to avoid NuGet version conflicts across multiple .NET projects?▼

The best way to avoid NuGet version conflicts across multiple .NET projects is adopting Central Package Management. By defining a single source of truth for package versions in a Directory.Packages.props file, you ensure consistent dependencies and simplify solution-wide updates.

How do I validate that CPM is active and working in my .NET solution?▼

You validate CPM is active by running dotnet restore and checking that all projects reference the centralized versions. The Skill provides solution-wide validation commands and checks to verify CPM adoption is complete and dependencies resolve correctly.
