Develop ASP.NET Core application in Windows and Mac

Question

.NET Core is cross-platform in that you can develop and run an application on your desired platform (Mac, Linux, or Windows). However, I can't find any information on cross-platform development of an application, in particular, of an ASP.NET Core application.

We are building a new website and we need to be able to have some users work on an ASP.NET Core application on Windows and some on Mac. (There is currently no need to support development on Linux.) On the Windows side, we would ideally like to work in VS 2015 (Community).

Is this possible? If so, are there any required or recommended steps to follow or workarounds to help make the process smoother? Are there any limitations to this approach?
