MikeNakis.CommonFiles 1.1.331

MikeNakis.CommonFiles

Common files shared among all of my dotnet projects.

This package supplies the following files to projects that reference it:

• .editorconfig
• AllCode.globalconfig
• ProductionCode.globalconfig
• TestCode.globalconfig

The new files appear in a subdirectory called MikeNakisAnalysisRules under the project directory, and they are all read-only.

The package also supplies a MikeNakisAnalysisRules property which points to the directory where the supplied files are located, so they can be included as follows:

<ItemGroup>
	
	<GlobalAnalyzerConfigFiles Include="$(MikeNakisAnalysisRules)AllCode.globalconfig" />
	<GlobalAnalyzerConfigFiles Include="$(MikeNakisAnalysisRules)ProductionCode.globalconfig" />
</ItemGroup>

Unfortunately, the .editorconfig file cannot be included like that, so it is (automatically) copied from MikeNakisAnalysisRules into the project directory. The copy is writable, so be careful not to modify it because any edits you make to it will be lost next time the package is restored.

It is best to refrain from adding .editorconfig to .gitignore, so that if you ever change .editorconfig you have a chance to take notice. Even if .editorconfig gets accidentally committed, next time the package is restored it will appear as modified again, so you have more chances to take notice, and when you do eventually notice that you have been losing the changes you have been making to it, you might still be able to find your lost changes in the git commit history.
