What is NuGet?

NuGet is a package manager initially designed for the .NET ecosystem, but it also extends its functionality to C++ projects through the PackageReference format. It simplifies the process of adding, updating, and managing external libraries and dependencies within your C++ projects, whether you're using Visual Studio's GUI, its integrated command-line tools, or the standalone nuget.exe executable. With NuGet, managing dependencies becomes more streamlined and efficient, allowing you to focus on your core C++ code.
