Welcome to the .NET SDK Workload Versions repo

This repository contains the version information for .NET SDK Workloads.

Pre-requisites for local VS insertion build

1. Install the latest Visual Studio with the .NET Desktop workload

• Make sure to restart your PC after the installation is complete.

2. Install Azure CLI
3. Run az login to authenticate

• When it asks for a subscription to select, just press Enter. The default subscription selection does not affect DARC.

4. Install DARC
5. Add GitHub auth for DARC

• Use the darc authenticate command.
• Generate the GitHub PAT here. Create a fine-grained PAT instead of the classic PAT.
• Do not create an AzDO PAT. Leave that entry blank in the darc-authenticate file for it to use local machine auth.

6. Request access to the .NET Daily Internal Build Access entitlement

• This allows the local AzDO machine auth to gather internal assets from AzDO.
• Send a message to one of the primary owners on the entitlement page for approval after requesting access to the entitlement.
• Should take about 20 mins for the entitlement process to complete (will appear on your entitlements list) and another 30 mins the access to propagate to DARC. Basically, after approval, wait an hour until you actually attempt to build.
