To publish a package to your feed, run the following command. The ApiKey parameter is required, but you can use any arbitrary string as its value.

nuget.exe push -Source <SOURCE_NAME> -ApiKey key <PACKAGE_PATH>

Examples

  • Project-scoped feed:

    nuget.exe push -Source https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/myOrganization/MyProject/_packaging/MyFeed/nuget/v3/index.json -ApiKey AZ release/myDemoPackage.1.0.0.nupkg

  • Organization-scoped feed:

    nuget.exe push -Source https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/myOrganization/_packaging/myFeed/nuget/v3/index.json -ApiKey AZ release/myDemoPackage.1.0.0.nupkg
