A GUI application to create, update, inspect, and deploy NuGet packages for the .NET ecosystem.
NuGet Package Explorer is a graphical user interface application designed to create, update, inspect, and deploy NuGet packages for the .NET ecosystem. It simplifies package management by allowing developers to work with .nupkg and .snupkg files visually, reducing reliance on command-line tools. The tool also includes a web version and a CLI for package validation.
.NET developers, package maintainers, and teams who need to create, inspect, or publish NuGet packages and prefer a visual interface over command-line operations.
Developers choose NuGet Package Explorer for its intuitive GUI that streamlines package creation and inspection, its cross-platform web access via Uno Platform, and the added convenience of a CLI tool for package validation, making it a comprehensive tool for NuGet package management.

The dotnet-validate tool is in preview with known issues, such as not supporting exact versions for remote packages, limiting its reliability for automated checks.
