NuGet Manager VS

A Visual Studio-style NuGet package manager for VS Code. One panel, three tabs, no ceremony.

Installation

1. Open VS Code and go to the Extensions view (Cmd+Shift+X on macOS, Ctrl+Shift+X on Windows/Linux).
2. Search for NuGet Manager VS and click Install.

Or from the command line:

code --install-extension vctdev.easy-nuget-manager

Getting started

Open it either way:

• Click the 📦 NuGet button in the status bar (bottom of the window), or
• Open the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run NuGet: Open Package Manager.

Pick a project (or a whole repo) in the top-right dropdown, then browse, install, update, or remove packages.

Features

• Browse — search nuget.org or any NuGet v3 feed from your nuget.config (private feeds use your existing credentials). Pick a version, install into one project or a whole repo at once.
• Installed — see every package referenced by the selected project(s), filter by name, uninstall with one click.
• Updates — see what's outdated (current → latest) and update with one click, checked against the selected package source.
• Project picker groups your workspace by git repository, with an "All projects" option per repo.
• Auto-restores projects that are missing their assets file.
• Everything runs through the dotnet CLI — nothing touches your project files except MSBuild itself.

Requirements

• .NET SDK 7.0 or later (dotnet on your PATH)
