paket.dependencies

The paket.dependencies file is used to specify rules regarding your application's dependencies.

paket.lock

The paket.lock file records the concrete dependency resolution of all direct and indirect dependencies of your project.

paket.references

The paket.references files are used to specify which dependencies are to be installed into the MSBuild projects in your repository.

paket.template

The paket.template files are used to specify rules to create new NuGet packages by using the paket pack command.

This directory sits in the root of your repository, next to the paket.dependencies file. It holds the MSBuild files that restore packages before a build, Paket.Restore.targets and paket.targets, and the load scripts Paket generates. See the .paket directory.
