.NET Core Reference Source

Question

I was searching for the source code of .NET Core because I wanted to look at how the core classes are implemented. For example, I wanted to see how the string class is written. Can someone please point me to the source code of .NET Core?

There exists a great online browsing tool for .NET Framework at .NET Reference Resource. Does something similar exist for .NET Core?

PS: I tried looking on GitHub but could not find it.

This GitHub Link allows to download SDK source code but it has missing classes like String.cs

The equivalent of the .NET Framework Referece Source website for Core is .NET Source Browser.

Where you can find String.

Look in the dotnet/runtime repo on GitHub:

You'll find the implementation of the String class there: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/src/libraries/System.Private.CoreLib/src/System/String.cs
