Hello,

I am from the team that runs nuget.org. We recently added a feature that lets you search for .NET tools. Do you think it would make sense to mention the advanced search experience on the dotnet-tools repo? If so, I'd be happy to send a pull request! 😊

Thanks for letting me know about this feature. I started this repo a few years ago because NuGet.org lacked the ability to search by package type. Now that is available, I think I will just update this to point to a link like https://www.nuget.org/packages?packagetype=dotnettool&sortby=totalDownloads-desc&prerel=True.

Given that, is there any benefit to keeping this repo list? I can't think of one

People that watch this repo get notifications whenever someone adds a new .NET tool. That's still very useful in my opinion 😊

Done. Added a link to the top of the page. I'll keep the list in case users want to edit.
