Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019

This article guides you through setting up your project and publishing your NuGet packages using the NuGet command-line interface.

Prerequisites

Product	Requirements
Azure DevOps	- An Azure DevOps organization. - An Azure DevOps project. - An Azure Artifacts feed. - Download and install the Azure Artifacts Credential Provider. - The latest NuGet version.

Connect to a feed

1. Sign in to your Azure DevOps organization, and then navigate to your project.

2. Select Artifacts, and then select your feed from the dropdown menu.

3. Select Connect to feed, and then select NuGet.exe from the left navigation pane.

4. Add a nuget.config file to your project, in the same folder as your .csproj or .sln file. Paste the provided XML snippet into your file. The snippet should look like the following:

   • Organization-scoped feed:

     XML

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
     <configuration>
       <packageSources>
         <clear />
         <add key="<SOURCE_NAME>" value="https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/<ORGANIZATION_NAME>/_packaging/<FEED_NAME>/nuget/v3/index.json" />
       </packageSources>
     </configuration>
     

   • Project-scoped feed:

     XML

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
     <configuration>
       <packageSources>
         <clear />
         <add key="<SOURCE_NAME>" value="https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/<ORGANIZATION_NAME>/<PROJECT_NAME>/_packaging/<FEED_NAME>/nuget/v3/index.json" />
       </packageSources>
     </configuration>
     

Publish packages to a feed in the same organization

Run the following command to publish a package to your feed. Replace the placeholders with the appropriate values:

CLI

nuget push <PACKAGE_PATH> -src https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/<ORGANIZATION_NAME>/<PROJECT_NAME>/_packaging/<FEED_NAME>/nuget/v3/index.json -ApiKey <ANY_STRING>

Example:

CLI

nuget push MyPackage.5.0.2.nupkg -src https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/MyOrg/MyProject/_packaging/MyFeed/nuget/v3/index.json -ApiKey AZ

The api-key is required, but you can provide any string as its value when publishing to an Azure Artifacts feed.

Publish packages to a feed in another organization

To publish your NuGet packages to a feed in a different Azure DevOps organization, you must first create a personal access token (PAT) in the target organization.

1. Navigate to the organization hosting the target feed and create a personal access token (PAT) with Packaging > Read & write scope.

2. Run the following command to add your package source to your nuget.config file. This will add your PAT to your nuget.config file. Store this file in a safe location, and make sure that you don't check it into source control.

   CLI

   nuget sources Add -Name <SOURCE_NAME> -Source https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/<ORGANIZATION_NAME>/<PROJECT_NAME>/_packaging/<FEED_NAME>/nuget/v3/index.json -UserName <USER_NAME> -Password <PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN> -config <PATH_TO_NUGET_CONFIG_FILE>
   

3. Run the following command to publish your package:

   CLI

   nuget push <PACKAGE_PATH> -src <SOURCE_NAME> -ApiKey <ANY_STRING>
   

Example:

CLI

nuget sources Add -Name "MySource" -Source https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/MyOrg/MyProject/_packaging/MyFeed/nuget/v3/index.json -UserName MyUserName -Password YourPersonalAccessToken -config ./nuget.config
nuget push nupkgs/mypackage.1.1.8.nupkg -src MySource -ApiKey AZ

If your organization is using a firewall or a proxy server, make sure you allow Azure Artifacts Domain URLs and IP addresses.
