local NuGet

NuGet repositories may be set up locally to manage team dependencies. This means that when you go to get Entity Framework, for example, that you by default get the version that your team uses instead of the newer, latest version. It also means you may check in your own libraries to NuGet and roll out new versions from one arm of a distributed to team to another. There is a config file to adjust (at each developer's copy of code) for getting a newer version in this circumstance.
