add command (NuGet CLI)
Applies to: package publishing • Supported versions: 3.3+
Adds a specified package to a non-HTTP package source (a folder or UNC path) in a hierarchical layout, wherein folders are created for the package ID and version number. For example:
\\myserver\packages
└─<packageID>
└─<version>
├─<packageID>.<version>.nupkg
├─<packageID>.<version>.nupkg.sha512
└─<packageID>.nuspec
When restoring or updating against the package source, hierarchical layout provides significantly better performance.
To expand all the files in the package to the destination package source, use the -Expand
switch. This typically results in additional subfolders appearing in the destination, such as tools
and lib
.
