Scripted way to add nuget package source

Question

We want to start a company nuget package repository. Is there a way to add a package source through command line so we can configure our new package source through a setup or something?

We basically don't want to go

Tools - Options - Package Manager - Package Sources - Plus button - add name and source

on every developer machine in the company.

As an idea........if you run a nuget.exe from the powershell window in VS.......and override the (Sources (?)) (going from memory), I wonder if it remembers it? Probably not, but maybe worth a try. As in, the command-line version of nuget......... — granadaCoder

The package sources are stored in NuGet.config under the user's profile or system wide in ProgramData:

%AppData%\NuGet\NuGet.config
%ProgramData%\NuGet\NuGetDefaults.config

You can add package sources through NuGet using a command line similar to:

nuget sources add -name FeedName -Source http://YourFeed.com

The above command will work if you run it under the user's profile.

NuGet 2.7 introduced system wide package source configuration in ProgramData. So you could add your package sources into NuGet.config under ProgramData with your installer.

Putting that nuget sources add ... in an auto-ci script is OK, as it is just a warning to add the exact same source twice. That way, it doesn't matter which virtual CI system you are running on, the list gets updated.

You can use dotnet CLI to add a new source with following command:

dotnet nuget add source "https://nuget.pkg.github.com/Owner/index.json" --name "Source1" --username "[email protected]" --password "pass"
