ASP.NET Core Docs is the official documentation repository for ASP.NET Core, published at learn.microsoft.com/aspnet/core.
The repository serves as the authoritative reference for ASP.NET Core development. It addresses the need for comprehensive, up-to-date guidance on building web applications with ASP.NET Core by maintaining detailed articles, tutorials, and API documentation that cover the framework's features, patterns, and best practices.
Developers should use this documentation when learning ASP.NET Core or building applications with it. The repository is suited for anyone working with ASP.NET Core who needs official guidance, whether they are beginners following tutorials or experienced developers looking up specific framework behavior. The documentation distinguishes itself by being the official source maintained alongside the framework itself, ensuring alignment with current releases. For developers working with the older ASP.NET 4.x framework, a separate repository handles that documentation.
The project maintains clear processes for community contributions and issue reporting. Issues should be opened through the feedback form at the bottom of relevant articles rather than as blank issues, which adds article metadata and automatically notifies the author for faster response. Simple corrections like typos can be submitted as pull requests following the contributor guide. General support questions are directed to Stack Overflow, Slack, or Gitter rather than the issue tracker, keeping the repository focused on documentation improvements. The project distinguishes between documentation problems, tutorial issues, and site design concerns, routing each to the appropriate channel for resolution.
