Hello o/ I would like to develop a package manager in c# to expand my knowledge about the language and more understand how package managers put together entire system. so here are my questions: 1. where should I start? 2. do I invent my own pkg format or do I use pre built packages like deb or rpm? I think the later one will be more easier 3. how do I setup my dev environment I am on Ubuntu and has installed VS Code and dotnet sdk sorry it these questions feel too naive but I really think I can do this! Thanks in advance!

    You seem to be a very novice programmer.

    how do I setup my dev environment ? Google that? Use a devcontainer? I mean literally a question answered thousands of times.

    where should I start Setting up your dev environment. Then maybe create a few projects for you to test your package manager empirically?

    do I invent my own pkg format or do I use pre built packages like deb or rpm?

    Depends on what you want to do. I’m honestly not sure how to help you here? What kind of answer are you fishing for here?

      yes I am a novice programmer and don’t know much about c# either but I have made a bunch of projects which is fairly usable so I am not someone with no experience.
