a newbie question about GitHub/version control
-
I have a Windows Form project on .NET using JSON.NET package. Should I also put all files under this folder onto GitHub repository?

Here's a tip, always add this (official) gitignore to your project so you don't have to think about stuff like that. gitignore/VisualStudio.gitignore at main · github/gitignore · GitHub[^] There's a gitignore file for practically every language and/or editor. The packages folder is excluded in the gitigore, so it's best practice not to include your packages. More information: NuGet Packages and Source Control | Microsoft Learn[^]

Depends on how you use NuGet, usually the files will be downloaded in a folder "Packages" so it is not needed to include that folder in your Git repo.
Quote:
With NuGet 4.0+, PackageReference is preferred, although this is configurable in Visual Studio through the Package Manager UI.

thanks for this great link:rose: So if I clone this project from GitHub, I need to install NuGet package again into this project?

No, if you build your project from Visual Studio it will automatically restore the NuGet package (if you have your setup configured correctly of course :-\ )

You can link their external repo: [Git - Submodules](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules)

Beware: submodules can be tricky, I only would advise using this when you have mastered the basics.

It's included in the gitignore which excludes it from your git repository.
