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

.paket directory
This directory is used the same way a .nuget
directory is used for the NuGet
package restore, that is to cache package archives for reference by the
development project. Place this directory into the root of your repository. It
should include the paket.targets and
paket.bootstrapper.exe
files which can be downloaded from GitHub. The bootstrapper executable will
always download the latest version of the paket.exe
file into this directory.
