An enhanced template for a C# class library project

Features

• class lib + test projects
• solution file referencing common stuff in repository: gitignore, license, readme, CI
• Azure DevOps-based build + test pipeline
• tests: DevOps results and coverage integration
• builds NuGet package with Source Link support
• builds symbols package

Setting up

• clone this repository into the folder you want your new lib to be
• enter working copy directory
• git branch --unset-upstream to detach master branch from template; now it belongs to your project
• git remote rename origin template to preserve the ability to pull template updates
• create a new repository on GitHub/GitLab/etc
• git remote add origin https://full.url/to/your_new.git
• git push --set-upstream origin master to upload your new project
• go to Azure DevOps and create a new pipeline for your new project, and point it to CI/Azure-Master.yml
• remove the sample classes and tests, rename the projects (if needed), and start hacking!

Updating your project to the latest version of the template

• add the template repository to remotes: git remote add template https://full.url/to/this_project.git
• git pull template master

Planned/missing features

• run tests on all platforms
• publish preview versions of NuGet package on successful build
• README status badges
