Paket is a dependency manager for .NET projects that handles NuGet packages, Git repositories, and HTTP resources with deterministic lockfile-based resolution. It gives explicit control over transitive dependencies and version conflicts that NuGet handles opaquely.

Use cases

• manage nuget package dependencies for .net projects
• pin exact transitive dependency versions with a lock file
• reference files directly from git repositories as dependencies
• resolve conflicting package versions deterministically
• convert a solution from packages.config to modern dependency management
• install dependencies from http urls in a dotnet project

When to choose

• you need precise, predictable control over transitive dependencies and version conflicts
• your project depends on packages from Git or HTTP sources, not just NuGet
• you want a stable lockfile for reproducible builds across a team or CI
• you work in F# or mixed .NET solutions where NuGet's resolution is insufficient

When to avoid

• your team is fully invested in the standard dotnet CLI / NuGet workflow and happy with it
• you need broad ecosystem tooling or IDE integrations built around NuGet only
• you want a zero-learning-curve dependency manager for a trivial project
