TFS 2017

Developers can use Azure Artifacts to publish and consume NuGet packages both to and from feeds and public registries. A feed is an organizational construct that hosts packages. You can create public and private feeds, and you can control who can access your packages by modifying feed permissions.

Prerequisites

This quickstart assumes you've already set up Azure Artifacts. You can check out how to license the extension in the License Azure Artifacts guide.

Note

Azure Artifacts is an extension that comes pre-installed on TFS 2017 or newer, if it was removed from your organization, you can install it from the Azure Artifacts Marketplace.

Create a feed

With Azure Artifacts, you can create two types of feeds: project-scoped and organization-scoped feeds. All public feeds are project-scoped and they inherit the hosting project's visibility settings. By default, any feed that's created by using the web UI is a project-scoped feed.

Azure Artifacts is installed by default for TFS 2017 customers. You must upgrade to TFS 2017 in order to use Azure Artifacts. If this is the first time using your feed, you might be asked to assign a license

  1. Go to Build & Release and select Packages.

    Go to Azure Artifacts TFS

  2. Select + New feed.

Connect to feed

With Azure Artifacts, you can publish your NuGet packages to public or private feeds, and then share them with others, depending on your feed's visibility settings.

Here's how to connect to your feed and set up your project.

  1. Select Build and Release > Packages.

Install and publish a sample NuGet package

If you don't have a NuGet package but want to practice the steps to publish NuGet packages to your feed, you can install the HelloWorld sample package.

  1. Install the sample NuGet package:

    nuget install HelloWorld -ExcludeVersion

  2. Set up your nuget.config file and publish your package to your feed:

    nuget sources add -Name <SourceName> -Source <SourceURL> -username <UserName> -password <Pat>
nuget push -Source <SourceName> -ApiKey key <PackagePath> #example:(.\Get-Hello.1.0.0.nupkg)>

Consume packages in Visual Studio

To consume NuGet packages from your feed, you need to add the feed's NuGet endpoint as a package source in Visual Studio, as follows.

1. Get the feed's source URL

  1. Select Build and Release, and then select Packages.

  2. Select your feed from the dropdown menu.

  3. Select Connect to feed.

  2. Expand the NuGet Package Manager section, and then select Package Sources.

  3. Enter the feed's Name and the Source URL, and then select the green (+) sign to add a source.

  4. If you enabled upstream sources in your feed, clear the nuget.org check box.

  5. Select OK.

You can now find and consume packages from your feed by using Visual Studio.
