SYNOPSIS
dotnet restore [project] [options]
DESCRIPTION
dotnet restore downloads and installs all NuGet package dependencies specified in project files. It resolves package versions, handles transitive dependencies, and caches packages locally for faster subsequent restores.
The command reads package references from .csproj/.fsproj files and nuget.config, then downloads packages from configured NuGet sources. Restore is typically automatic before build/run commands but can be run explicitly for troubleshooting or CI/CD pipelines.
