Questions tagged [packages.config]

The packages.config file is used in some project types to maintain the list of packages referenced by the project. This allows NuGet to easily restore the project's dependencies when the project to be transported to a different machine, such as a build server, without all those packages.

If used, packages.config is typically located in a project root. It's automatically created when the first NuGet operation is run, but can also be created manually before running any commands such as nuget restore.

Projects that use PackageReference do not use packages.config.
