Examples

The BitMagic.Examples repository has a set of small projects, each showing a different BitMagic feature. Most are ready to go: open the folder in VSCode and press F5. A few need some setup first, so check the example’s page.

Clone it with submodules, as some examples pull in other repositories:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Yazwh0/BitMagic.Examples.git
