Publishing NuGet package to GitHub Packages Using GitHub Actions

624 views Asked by At

I'm trying to create a NuGet package of my .NET library and publish it to GitHub Packages NuGet registry using GitHub actions.

I'm stuck at the publish part. I'm using the following command:

dotnet nuget push "bin/Release/MyApp.${{ steps.get-version.outputs.version }}.nupkg" source --username MY_GITHUB_USERNAME --password ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} --store-password-in-clear-text --name github "https://nuget.pkg.github.com/MY_COMPANY_GITHUB_ACCOUNT/index.json"

The error I'm getting is:

Unrecognized option '--username'

As you may have noticed, I'm getting the version number I set in .csproj file in order to figure out the nuget file name.

What command do I need to issue to push my NuGet package into my private GitHub Packages registry after building it?

Here's the full release.yml file:

# This workflow will build a .NET project

I usually just add source and then when push I just set --source.

- name: Add nuget source
  run: dotnet nuget add source --username YOURSERNAME --password ${{ secrets.NUGET_API_KEY }} --store-password-in-clear-text --name github "https://nuget.pkg.github.com/YOURSERNAME/index.json"
- name: Publish MyApp
  run: |
      dotnet pack -p:Version=$GITVERSION_SEMVER --configuration Release MyApp.csproj
      dotnet nuget push MyApp/bin/Release/MyApp.*.nupkg --source "github"

Here's the workflow I use:

  push:
    branches:
      - 'release/**'

jobs:
