The *global.json* file allows you to define which .NET SDK version is used when you run .NET CLI commands. Selecting the .NET SDK version is independent from specifying the runtime version a project targets. The .NET SDK version indicates which version of the .NET CLI is used. This article explains how to select the SDK version by using *global.json*.

If you always want to use the latest SDK version that is installed on your machine, no *global.json* file is needed. In CI (continuous integration) scenarios, however, you typically want to specify an acceptable range for the SDK version that is used. The *global.json* file has a `rollForward` feature that provides flexible ways to specify an acceptable range of versions. For example, the following *global.json* file selects 8.0.300 or any later [feature band or patch](../releases-and-support.md) for 8.0 that is installed on the machine:
