    https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/idea/351813/manage-nuget-packages.html
    The NuGet Package Manager should match more of the features and feel of VS for Windows.
    1) I should be able to manage packages for the entire solution and select one or more projects I want to install a package to
    2) I should be able to consolidate any packages that mismatch

      • Code formatting settings to match Windows counterpart

        This suggestion is migrated to Developer Community. Please use below link to view the current status.
