Open Source

Over the holidays and early January I had some fun with Claude Code and made some big changes to NuGet Trends — including resolving years-old tickets along the way. TL;DR Target Framework Adoption — see how many NuGet packages target each framework version over time. Trending This Week — discover packages gaining momentum right now.

ClickHouse — download data moved from PostgreSQL to ClickHouse. Blazing fast, again. Aspire — local development orchestration replaced docker-compose. The project is open source under dotnet/nuget-trends and we’d love contributions. ...

I recently setup continuous integration for a few open source projects. I used GitHub, AppVeyor, Travis-CI and Codecov. The resulting packages are deployed to NuGet.org. Here I aim to describe the process in an attempt to document it both for myself and hopefully help others in getting started with it. Scenario I have some .NET Core projects on GitHub that are actually just .NET Standard libraries. Ultimately, once they are built and tested on Windows, MacOS and Linux, I want them published to NuGet.org. I also want to use GitHub’s Release feature to document what I am pushing to NuGet. ...
