Contribute to Couchbase: Create a C# Starter Kit for Hacktoberfest 2024!

Looking to make a meaningful contribution during Hacktoberfest 2024? Here's an exciting opportunity to enhance Couchbase's open-source ecosystem by creating a C# Starter Kit!

While Couchbase already offers starter kits for various frameworks, we're missing one for C#. This is where YOU can make a significant impact. Help us build a C# Couchbase starter kit to empower fellow developers in seamlessly integrating Couchbase into their C# applications.

What You'll Do:

TL;DR: Create a C# app showcasing Couchbase's core features, ensuring cross-platform compatibility, with a detailed README and tests. The final outcome is a new GitHub repo in your account for the starter kit, plus a PR in this repo adding your project to the community contributions section.

• Set up a basic C# application (using a framework of your choice) that connects to a Couchbase cluster.
• Utilize the Couchbase .NET SDK to showcase key functionalities.
• Include a sample .env file with necessary environment variables for Couchbase connection.
• Craft a comprehensive README.md with clear setup instructions.
• Configure deployment support for Gitpod and GitHub Codespaces.
• Implement a test using GitHub Actions to verify the Couchbase connection.

Basic Requirements:

Your C# starter kit should include:

• Couchbase Connection: Support for both Couchbase Server and Capella.
• Environment Variables: Utilize the existing template from the samples directory in this repository.
• Deployment Configurations: Provide setups for Gitpod and GitHub Codespaces.
• Testing: Add a simple test workflow to validate the Couchbase connection.

Resources:

• ESSENTIAL: Instructions for getting started
• Couchbase .NET SDK Documentation
• Sample README for your project
• Hacktoberfest Details

How To Get Started:

1. Review the contribution instructions thoroughly.
2. Develop your C# starter kit.
