Multi-Targeting NuGet Packages
I am updating some NuGet packages to support .NET 10 and had to refresh my memory on how to multi-target NuGet packages that support multiple target frameworks. In my case, I am adding support for .NET 9 and .NET 10, but these steps are applicable to other .NET versions. I just decided to write it…

Mediator: Sync and Async Commands
