## What it is
A curated list of .NET Core CLI (dotnet) global tools published on NuGet. The repository is now archived because nuget.org added native filtering by dotnettool package type, making the list redundant.

## Use cases
- find dotnet cli tools
- discover .NET core global tools
- list useful dotnet command line extensions
- search nuget packages of type dotnet tool
- extend the dotnet CLI with community tools

## When to choose
- you want a historical curated snapshot of popular dotnet CLI tools
- you prefer browsing a human-curated list over NuGet search

## When to avoid
- you need an up-to-date list of .NET tools - use nuget.org's package type filter instead
- you want actively maintained software - this repo is archived
