Central package management (cpm) across code repositories

Abstract

Central package management (CPM) across code repositories is disclosed. In an example, a primary 'props' file in a Git submodule references a version of a NuGet package. A “.props” file in a root directory of each of multiple code repositories references the primary props file in the Git submodule. Each of multiple software projects in the code repositories has a package reference to the NuGet package without a reference to the version of the NuGet package. When each of the multiple the software projects is built (e.g., compiled), the build process automatically uses the version of the NuGet package that is identified in the Git submodule. This permits a single change to the version number of the NuGet package in the Git submodule to be propagated across multiple projects spanning multiple code repositories.
