This branch contains experimental fork of CoreCLR .NET runtime optimized for the Native AOT Form factor. The ahead-of-time (AOT) toolchain can compile .NET application into a native (architecture specific) single-file executable. It can also produce standalone dynamic or static libraries that can be consumed by applications written in other programming languages.
The packages for Linux, macOS and Windows x64 are published to a dedicated NuGet feed after each pull request. Using this AOT compiler and runtime is as simple as adding a new package reference to your .NET project and publishing it. Check out one of our samples: a "Hello World" console app or a native library. The README.md file in each sample's directory will guide you through the process step by step.
- Using Native AOT explains how to debug, optimize and troubleshoot applications published using the native AOT toolchain. This documentation is for people who are interested in using the toolchain.
- Developer workflow explains how to build the repo, run tests and work on the Native AOT toolchain. This documentation is for people who are interested in making changes in the toolchain.
Some of the best ways to contribute are to try things out, file bugs, and join in design conversations.

This project is successor of RyuJIT CodeGen from CoreRT where you can find more samples and older documentation.
This repo contains the code to build the .NET runtime, libraries and shared host (dotnet) installers for
all supported platforms, as well as the sources to .NET runtime and libraries.
