Migrate NuGet packages

If your myget feed is private, you will need to create a password to authenticate. You can skip the first step if your myget feed is public.

  1. Run the following command to convert your password to a secure string.

    $password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String '<YOUR_PASSWORD>' -AsPlainText -Force

  2. Run the following command to migrate your packages to Azure Artifacts;

    • Migrate from a private source feed:

        Move-MyGetNuGetPackages -SourceIndexUrl '<MYGET_SOURCE_URL>' -DestinationIndexUrl '<ARTIFACTS_FEED_SOURCE_URL>' -DestinationPAT '<AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT>' -DestinationFeedName '<ARTIFACTS_FEED_NAME>' -SourceUsername '<MYGET_USERNAME>' -SourcePassword $password -Verbose

    • Migrate from a public source feed:

        Move-MyGetNuGetPackages -SourceIndexUrl '<MYGET_SOURCE_URL>' -DestinationIndexUrl '<ARTIFACTS_FEED_SOURCE_URL>' -DestinationPAT '<AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT>' -DestinationFeedName '<ARTIFACTS_FEED_NAME>' -Verbose
