title: How to debug NuGet packages using Visual Studio
body: <p>In Visual Studio 2015 and .NET Core development we could debug NuGet packages by retrieving the source code from a source (e.g. GitHub) to a local disk, adding the source path to the downloaded source code in <code>global.json</code> and reference the NuGet package in our project. This caused a reference to the projects in the downloaded source code to automatically be visible in the current solution and thus made it possible to easily debug (More about this functionality can be read about <a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2015/02/06/debugging-asp-net-5-framework-code-using-visual-studio-2015/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">in this article</a>).</p>
  <p>Does anyone know how to do the same using Visual Studio 2017? Since the <code>global.json</code> is gone I can't find any solution for this.</p>
