A common way for software developers to pick up new skills is to experiment with adding open-source software into their own creations. If other people find this new code beneficial, they are free to use it in their projects.
It makes sense that open-source software from third parties is becoming more and more widely used. Additionally, it enables companies to develop software more quickly than they could by starting from scratch.
Consequently, I decided to highlight some of the top open source .NET Projects on GitHub.
1.ESHOPONCONTAINERS & ESHOPONWEB
Both projects are considered as a sample reference application backed by Microsoft
eshopon con is application for demonstrating Container-based microservices architecture pattern while EShopOnWeb is demonstrating monolithic architecture

2.Bitwarden
The Bitwarden Server project contains the APIs, database, and other core infrastructure items needed for the “backend” of all bitwarden client applications.
The server project is written in C# using .NET Core with ASP.NET Core. The database is written in T-SQL/SQL Server. The codebase can be developed, built, run, and deployed cross-platform on Windows, macOS, and Linux distributions.

3.Serenity Platform
Serenity is an ASP.NET Core / TypeScript application platform designed to simplify and shorten development of data-centric business applications with a service based architecture. It aims to make development easier while reducing maintenance costs by avoiding boiler-plate code, reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks and applying best software design practices.

4.ShareX
ShareX is a free and open source program that lets you capture or record any area of your screen and share it with a single press of a key. It also allows uploading images, text or other types of files to many supported destinations you can choose from.
