Contributing

  1. Fork the repo and create a branch: feat/utilities-<short-description> or fix/utilities-<short-description>.
  2. Follow the Conventional Commits format — e.g. feat(packages/core/AStar.Dev.Utilities): add XyzExtensions.
  3. All warnings are treated as errors (TreatWarningsAsErrors=true), so the build must stay clean.
  4. Add or update the relevant doc file under docs/ if you add a new extension or change an existing one.
  5. Open a PR against main. CI runs automatically on push.

Do not run dotnet pack or dotnet nuget push manually — releases are triggered by pushing a v* tag. See the repo-level Releasing a new version guide.
