Paket

A dependency manager for .NET with support for NuGet packages and git repositories.

Why Paket?

NuGet did not separate out the concept of transitive dependencies. If you install a package into your project and that package has further dependencies then all transitive packages are included in the packages.config. There is no way to tell which packages are only transitive dependencies.

Even more importantly: If two packages reference conflicting versions of a package, NuGet will silently take the latest version (read more). You have no control over this process.

Paket on the other hand maintains this information on a consistent and stable basis within the paket.lock file in the solution root. This file, together with the paket.dependencies file enables you to determine exactly what's happening with your dependencies.

Paket also enables you to reference files directly from git repositories or any http-resource.

Troubleshooting and support

Quick contributing guide

  • Fork and clone locally.
  • Build the solution with Visual Studio, build.cmd or build.sh.
  • Create a topic specific branch in git. Add a nice feature in the code. Do not forget to add tests and/or docs.
  • Run build.cmd (build.sh on Linux/macOS) to make sure all tests are still passing.
  • When built, you'll find the binaries in ./bin which you can then test with locally, to ensure the bug or feature has been successfully implemented.
  • Send a Pull Request.

If you want to contribute to the docs then please modify the markdown files in /docs/content and send a pull request. Note, that short description and syntax for each command is generated automatically from the Paket.Commands module.

DEPRECATION: `paket.exe` and `paket.bootstrapper.exe` are deprecated and will no longer be published from Paket 12.0 onwards. The `paket` .NET tool becomes the only supported way to run Paket: `dotnet tool install paket`. Both binaries now print a notice on every run unless `-s` is passed.
The bootstrapper shipped with this release never resolves a version past 11.x, so it keeps working once 12.0 ships without a `paket.exe` asset instead of failing the build. An explicitly pinned version is unaffected.
Upgrade to .NET 10: SDK 10.0.400 and target frameworks from net9 to net10.0. The `paket` .NET tool now requires the .NET 10 runtime; the merged `paket.exe` still targets net461.
