What’s inside the kit

Not vague advice. Actual files, setup guidance, and practical defaults you can use right away.

βœ“ Production-ready .editorconfig

Start with pragmatic code style rules you can actually use in a real .NET project.

βœ“ Centralized build rules with Directory.Build.props

Keep important project-wide defaults in one place instead of repeating them everywhere.

βœ“ Pinned .NET SDK

Reduce environment drift and make local setup more predictable across machines and teams.

NEW

βœ“ Git Pre-Commit Hooks for Formatting

Automatically format and validate your code before every commit β€” no more messy diffs.

βœ“ Visual Studio setup checklist

Apply the right IDE settings faster and avoid missing the basics that keep teams consistent.

Why this matters

Most teams do not struggle because they lack talent. They struggle because they lack shared defaults.

Before

❌ Inconsistent formatting across the codebase

❌ Endless pull request comments about styling

❌ Warnings and rules handled differently by each developer

❌ Messy project setup when starting from scratch

After

βœ… Clean, consistent code style across projects

βœ… Fewer code style debates during reviews

βœ… Shared defaults the whole team can follow

βœ… A repeatable starter setup you can use immediately

What is this exactly?

This starter kit contains real material from my upcoming Pragmatic .NET Code Rules course, released to newsletter subscribers.

Who is it for?

.NET developers who want cleaner project defaults, fewer style-related review comments, and a more predictable setup for new or existing codebases.
