Checking in packages from NuGet into version control?

by

No

Since this question was asked there is now an easy workflow to use NuGet without commiting packages to source control

From your package manager console you need to install the ‘NuGetPowerTools’:

Install-Package NuGetPowerTools

Then to enable your projects to support pack restore you need to run another command:

Enable-PackageRestore

Now you are ready to commit your code base without the packages folder. The previous command changed your project files so that if packages are missing they get automatically downloaded and added.
