To make it easier for you to develop with the Google APIs using the Google API client Library for .NET we have released a number of NuGet packages. The libraries published by Google are owned by google-apis-packages.
The generator that produces the source code for API-specific libraries is in https://github.com/googleapis/gapic-generator-csharp. The most recently generated code is available in Src/Generated/, and the discovery documents from which that code was generated are in DiscoveryJson/.
