This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • docs

    This repository contains .NET Documentation. (by dotnet)

  • Some shell commands require different syntax than on Windows. A nice example is dotnet nuget push which requires the first parameter to be enclosed in apostrophes on Linux to properly parse the wildcard when publishing multiple NuGet packages.

  • delivery-sdk-net

    Kontent.ai Delivery .NET SDK

  • AppVeyor offers features such as .csproj files patching and AssemblyInfo patching. These features are not available in GitHub Actions and the easiest way to overcome this is to use parameters that the .NET CLI offers dotnet build -p:Version=1.2.3 and dotnet pack -p:PackageVersion=1.2.3 or dotnet pack -p:NuspecProperties="Version=1.2.3" if you use a .nuspec file.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • If you want to enable Source Link for the consumers of your NuGets, make sure you turn on deterministic builds using dotnet build /p:ContinuousIntegrationBuild=true.

  • runner

    The Runner for GitHub Actions :rocket:

  • It's impossible to nest GitHub Actions (create GitHub Actions containing other GitHub Actions). However, according to this, it seems the topic of templating is about to be addressed this year.

  • semver

    Semantic Versioning Specification

  • GitHub Actions use Semantic Versioning so you don't have to include the minor and patch version (codecov/[email protected]) when referencing them. It's actually a good idea to use just the major version (codecov/codecov-action@v1) because you get any potential fixes free of charge.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
