In plain English

This repository holds the official documentation for ASP.NET Core, which is Microsoft's framework for building websites, web APIs, and other server-side applications using the C# programming language. The documentation itself is published at the Microsoft Learn website, and this GitHub repository is where the source files for that documentation are maintained. The repository exists primarily to allow the community to contribute improvements. If you spot an error or outdated information in the official docs, you can open an issue or submit a correction directly. The README explains the preferred way to report problems: rather than opening a blank issue, you should use the feedback link at the bottom of the specific article you are reading, which automatically attaches the relevant article context and notifies the author. For simple fixes like typos, contributors can submit a pull request directly. For questions about how to use ASP.NET Core rather than problems with the documentation itself, the README points to community support channels like Stack Overflow, a Slack workspace, and a Gitter chat room. This repository covers ASP.NET Core specifically. Documentation for the older ASP.NET 4.x version lives in a separate repository. The two frameworks are distinct, so if you are working with an older ASP.NET application, the content here may not apply.
