https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/master/docs/project/dogfooding.md has the detailed instructions for how to consume the nightly builds. I think that the readme should just have a link to this page. This page has oudated NuGet feeds. They should be updated. |
If we link to this page, would it be possible to add a separate section aimed at people who are just interested in fixes for a specific library and aren't trying to get a preview version of the whole entire runtime? I'm not in love with having the feeds buried down in Step 4 of the "Install prerequisites" section, when you are generally looking for them to be in a "Step 1" somewhere. |

Yes, I agree with having a short section at top aimed at people who just want fixes for a specific library. |

@jkotas See the new commit I just made. Do you think this makes more sense? Also note that I have a couple instances marked with MSFT TODO where someone from Microsoft should give input. It's okay by me if someone wants to just make changes themselves and integrate them into this PR, or just discard this one and start a new PR entirely. |

| If you are only looking to get fixes for an individual NuGet package, and don't need a preview version of the entire runtime, you can add the following package feed to `NuGet.config`: |

Adding this feed won't automatically give you any fixes. You also need to update the versions of the NuGet packages.
| 4. Our nightly builds are uploaded to dotnet-blob feeds, not NuGet - so ensure the .NET Core blob feed is in your nuget configuration in case you need other packages from .NET Core that aren't included in the download. For example, on Windows you could edit `%userprofile%\appdata\roaming\nuget\nuget.config` or on Linux edit `~/.nuget/NuGet/NuGet.Config` to add these line: | ||

All feeds except gRPC repository should be replaced by https://dnceng.pkgs.visualstudio.com/public/_packaging/dotnet5/nuget/v3/index.json

When a PR is merged that fixes an issue, the question is often raised as to how/when library consumers can use the fixed code. The answer often states that we can download the latest version from the nightly NuGet package feed, but it is currently very difficult to locate the feed to use. Furthermore, I don't think many Microsoft employees know the URL of the nightly feed, or at least they don't know what feed to tell the public. This PR updates the home page for the repo with a link to the proper feed to make it easily discoverable for end users.
Some considerations:
