How to build NuGet VisualStudio extension

###Prerequisites:

• VisualStudio 2015
• VisualStudio 2015 SDK
• Windows 10 SDK
• Git
• Powershell

###Steps to build the clients tools repo:

• Clone NuGet.Client Repo by running the following command git clone https://github.com/NuGet/NuGet.Client
• Start powershell
• CD into the clone repo directory
• Run .\build.ps1 -CleanCache

######In case you have build issues please clean the local repo using git clean -xdf and retry building

####Notable .\build.ps1 switches

• -SkipVS14 - skips building binaries targeting Visual Studio "14" (released as Visual Studio 2015)
• -SkipVS15 - skips building binaries targeting Visual Studio "15"

Note that if only one of Visual Studio 2015 (Dev14) or Visual Studio 15 (Dev15) is installed, neither of the above switches is necessary - the script will build according to the installed version.

• -SkipXProj - skips building the NuGet.Core XProj projects
• -SkipTests - builds binaries, skips running tests
• -SkipRestore - builds without restoring first
• -SkipSubmodules - builds without updating submodules
• -SkipILMerge - builds without creating an ILMerged nuget.exe
• -Fast - skips tests, submodule updates, and ILMerged nuget.exe
