Depends on how you use NuGet, usually the files will be downloaded in a folder "Packages" so it is not needed to include that folder in your Git repo.

Quote:
With NuGet 4.0+, PackageReference is preferred, although this is configurable in Visual Studio through the Package Manager UI.

thanks for this great link Rose | [Rose]

So if I clone this project from GitHub, I need to install NuGet package again into this project?

No, if you build your project from Visual Studio it will automatically restore the NuGet package (if you have your setup configured correctly of course $Shucks | :-\$ )

Here's a tip, always add this (official) gitignore to your project so you don't have to think about stuff like that.
gitignore/VisualStudio.gitignore at main · github/gitignore · GitHub[^]
There's a gitignore file for practically every language and/or editor.

The packages folder is excluded in the gitigore, so it's best practice not to include your packages.

The packages folder is included in the gitignore?

It's included in the gitignore which excludes it from your git repository.

Beware: submodules can be tricky, I only would advise using this when you have mastered the basics.

Am searching for an article to read and get to understand the core fundamentals of react. I want to get a solid understanding of react components, state, props, lifecycle methods, and how React works in general. Any recommendation?

I should add that i would be using React with TypeScript.

I definitely have an opinion on this because I had been looking for the exact same thing.
I tried many sources and then I came upon the fantastic book, React : Up & Running[^]. (O'Reilly publishing)

I had looked all over the place for someone to give me a step by step on how and why to do things certain way sin React and this book did it. It is super readable, has a tutorial type style and has fantastic code examples.

It also is a very fast read which is important too.
The 3rd chapter provided a sample that will just blow your mind. It basically creates an spreadsheet-type software in your browser. It shows you reasons you would actually use react in your solution. You'll understand the actual power and reasons. it's fantastic to get all of this in one resource.

I took that code and extended it and was working on it to create a component that allows you to:
1. Load any JSON data set (into the grid)
2. edit column data, add, search, delete data rows

You can see it at my web site: https://newlibre.com/LibreGrid/[^]

click the [Load Data] button and it'll load a default data set and then you can alter any of the data and "save" it.

I learned how to do all of that from React Up & Running.

This question would be better suited for the web development forum. That being said, I know years ago when I first was getting into React I went through some Pluralsight courses. These days there's also Udemy. Just pay for an online course or three. Any dev that takes their time to break everything down deserves a few bucks.

lifecycle methods

Also, be aware that using life cycle methods are old and outdated. These days it's about using hooks. It's still worth learning though in case you either 1) run into old code or 2) want to use a class component rather than a functional one. Hooks are functional only.

Here's a couple topics to look into.

State management. Learn Redux, no matter what a n00b says. Learn it. Trust me.
Learn the Context API and its history. This was made in response to n00bs not liking redux. It's pretty cool, just don't abuse as doing so is no different than a crap design using global variables everywhere.
Forget what you learned about the Context API. You'll now use hooks instead for shared state such as useReducer. You'll be glad you trained up on Redux for this. And you'll know the whys and backstory to what we're doing now... which will set you apart.
And for all things pure, learn about generators in JS/TS. It's not specific to React, but gee golly so many people bash JS but have no early idea about what it can do.
