Package Versioning

Use Version="*" in .csproj for consumption. Never pin. Receiver resolves latest. For publishing, use semantic versioning. Add --version flag only when specifically requested.

Packaging a Project

See references/package-project.md for the full csproj template and conventions. Based on the Angri450.Nong.Docx reference implementation.

Publishing Workflow

See references/publishing.md for the full step-by-step.

1. Update version in .csproj
2. dotnet pack <project> -c Release
3. dotnet nuget push <nupkg> --api-key <key> --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json
