NuGet newbie question-
I saw repositories.config being added in NuGet packages folder.
Can anyone please guide me what is the purpose of this file?

Thank you!

It's a file that's mostly a NuGet implementation detail, and should not be dealt with directly (it may go away or change in the future).

But for reference, it contains a list of paths that point to all the packages.config in the solution. Typically there is one per project that uses NuGet.
