How do i connect to a Postgresql database using .NET C# Core CLR?

I keep finding references to EF7 and SQL Server, but nothing on Postgresql.

What about Npgsql?

Npgsql does have a branch that works with the CoreCLR, however it is currently in alpha/unstable mode since .Net Core isn't exactly stable itself at the moment. But in case you missed the announcement, like I did, Npgsql now works with Entity Framework 7. Information on the Entity Framework 7 provider can be found here.

Yes but so is Entity Framework 7, since it's now Entity Framework Core. But updated link: npgsql.org/efcore/index.html
