A set of .NET project templates ('dotnet new' templates) with batteries included, scaffolding ASP.NET Core API, GraphQL, Orleans, and NuGet package projects with minimal code. It also ships item templates like .editorconfig and .gitattributes.

Use cases

• scaffold a new asp.net core api project
• create a graphql server template for dotnet
• bootstrap a microsoft orleans project
• generate a nuget package project template
• quickly start a dotnet project with best practices
• add editorconfig and gitattributes to a repo

When to choose

• starting a new .NET API, GraphQL, or Orleans project and wanting preconfigured best practices
• you want Swagger/OpenAPI, Docker, and CI setup out of the box
• you prefer minimal scaffolding over heavyweight starter kits

When to avoid

• you are not working in the .NET/C# ecosystem
• you need a fully custom project structure from scratch
• you want a runtime library rather than code-generation templates
