Description
The Publish-Module
cmdlet publishes a module to an online NuGet-based gallery by using an API key,
stored as part of a user's profile in the gallery. You can specify the module to publish either by
the module's name, or by the path to the folder containing the module.
This is a proxy cmdlet for the Publish-PSResource
cmdlet in the
Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet. For more information, see
Publish-PSResource.
Examples
Example 1: Publish a module
In this example, MyDscModule is published to the online gallery by using the API key to indicate the module owner's online gallery account. If MyDscModule is not a valid manifest module that specifies a name, version, description, and author, an error occurs.
Publish-Module -Path c:\projects\MyDscModule\1.0.0 -NuGetApiKey "11e4b435-6cb4-4bf7-8611-5162ed75eb73"
Example 2: Publish a module with gallery metadata
In this example, MyDscModule is published to the online gallery by using the API key to indicate the module owner's gallery account. The additional metadata provided is displayed on the webpage for the module in the gallery. The owner adds two search tags for the module, relating it to Active Directory; a brief release note is added. If MyDscModule is not a valid manifest module that specifies a name, version, description, and author, an error occurs.
$parameters = @{
Path = 'c:\projects\MyDscModule\1.0.0'
NuGetApiKey = '11e4b435-6cb4-4bf7-8611-5162ed75eb73'
LicenseUri = 'http://contoso.com/license'
Tag = 'Active Directory','DSC'
ReleaseNote = 'Updated the ActiveDirectory DSC Resources to support adding users.'
}

Notes
PowerShell includes the following aliases for Publish-Module
:
- All platforms:

Publish-Module
runs on PowerShell 3.0 or later releases of PowerShell, on Windows 7 or Windows
2008 R2 and later releases of Windows.
The PowerShell Gallery no longer supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) versions 1.0 and 1.1. You must use TLS 1.2 or higher. Use the following command to ensure you are using TLS 1.2:
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
Publishing a module requires metadata that is displayed on the gallery page for the module. Required metadata includes the module name, version, description, and author. The metadata must be defined in the module manifest. For more information, see Package manifest values that impact the PowerShell Gallery UI.
