Question 1

How do I create an .editorconfig for a .NET project?

Accepted Answer

Choose your target framework, strictness, and which analyzers you use. The generator produces a complete .editorconfig plus a Directory.Build.props with valid Roslyn/StyleCop rule IDs you can drop into the root of your solution.

Question 2

What is Directory.Build.props used for?

Accepted Answer

Directory.Build.props centralizes build settings - LangVersion, Nullable, ImplicitUsings, analyzer packages, EnforceCodeStyleInBuild, and TreatWarningsAsErrors - so every project in the solution inherits the same rules automatically.

Question 3

Is the .editorconfig generator free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It's free. Add your email for a higher daily limit. The full ruleset, cleanup automation, and CI quality gates are covered in the Pragmatic .NET Code Rules course.
