The idea behind Kysect.SolutionDefaults is to provide a set of default settings for new projects and up-to-date them using NuGet packages. NuGet maintainers can update the settings and the users will get the updates when they update the package.

List of settings that can be provided by Kysect.SolutionDefaults:

• .editorconfig
• Default icon of Kysect projects
• Kysect.SolutionDefaults.props file with default settings for new projects

• SolutionDefaultsUseMetadataOptions - if set to true the package will use Kysect metadata options for the project (author, company, copyright)
• SolutionDefaultsUseLicense - if set to true the package will use MIT license for the project
• SolutionDefaultsUseAnalyzersOptions - if set to true the package will enable Roslyn analyzers for the project (enable NRT, Roslyn analyzers and treat warnings as errors)
• SolutionDefaultsUseBuildOptions - if set to true the package will use Kysect build options for the project (latest language version, artifacts output, implicit using directives)
• SolutionDefaultsUsePublishOptions - if set to true the package will use Kysect publish options for the project (RepositoryType, deterministic build, .snupkg symbols)
• SolutionDefaultsCopyEditorConfig - if set to true the package will copy .editorconfig file to the solution directory
• SolutionDefaultsUseIcon - if set to true the package will use Kysect icon for the project
