"drop in distribution" is perhaps slightly off ?

[Danielovich]

Hi,

These rules are next to none, but I came across the documentation and that seems a bit off ?

"Take a copy of the distribution folder and drop it into the root of a project."

Before I contribute to the readme I wanted to make sure what exactly it takes for a user who wish to use the rules in their existing codebase.

Personally I take the

global.json
BuildProps
editorconfig

From the possible version scheme (.net X | project type) in the distribution folder.

And place them in the root (where .sln is) folder. Then the magic happens.

Is this not the inteded use for existing codebases which might not follow the src, test pattern ?

All the best,

Daniel

Hi @Danielovich,
True - the documentation could be a bit better in regards to what you are also writing around selecting the correct dotnet version :)

Usually on our projects we use the https://github.com/atc-net/atc-coding-rules-updater with a configurable json file, and a script, so we can get newest coding-rules and update analyzers aswell. See this sample: https://github.com/atc-net/atc-coding-rules-updater/tree/main/sample
