In Visual Studio 2013 Pro, is there a way to have a README.md for the root solution? We have a rather large solution and I'm trying to create a main README.md that can give an intro of each of the projects and a link to their READMEs.
I know this was asked a few months ago, but in case people find this question as I did, I'm giving my answer. You can right-click the solution, click Add, New Item..., and then create a text file called README.md. It will create the file in a folder called "Solutions Items" in the Solution Explorer, but that folder would not be created in your project file structure. So it is like a logical folder only.
Also, it seems that if you clone or fork a project that already has a README.md file for the solution, VS2013 does not automatically display it in the Solution Explorer. You have to include it there through Add, Existing Item....
