===== Overview =====

| Method | Suitable for | Page |
|--------|--------------|------|
| File Share | Small teams, quick | [[.:file-share]] |
| NuGet Package | .NET projects, versioned | [[.:nuget-paket]] |
| Docker Registry | Container deployments | - |

===== Quick Comparison =====

^ Criterion ^ File Share ^ NuGet ^
| Setup | Simple | Medium |
| Versioning | Manual | Automatic |
