dotnet nuget add source -h|--help

The dotnet nuget add source command adds a new package source to your NuGet configuration files.

• PACKAGE_SOURCE_PATH

  Path to the package source.

• --configfile <FILE>

  The NuGet configuration file (nuget.config) to use. If specified, only the settings from this file will be used. If not specified, the hierarchy of configuration files from the current directory will be used. For more information, see Common NuGet Configurations.

• -n|--name <SOURCE_NAME>

  Name of the source.

• -p|--password <PASSWORD>

  Password to be used when connecting to an authenticated source.

• --store-password-in-clear-text

  Enables storing portable package source credentials by disabling password encryption.

• -u|--username <USER>

  Username to be used when connecting to an authenticated source.

• --valid-authentication-types <TYPES>

  Comma-separated list of valid authentication types for this source. Set this to basic if the server advertises NTLM or Negotiate and your credentials must be sent using the Basic mechanism, for instance when using a PAT with on-premises Azure DevOps Server. Other valid values include negotiate, kerberos, ntlm, and digest, but these values are unlikely to be useful.

• Add nuget.org as a source:

  dotnet nuget add source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json -n nuget.org

• Add c:\packages as a local source:

  dotnet nuget add source c:\packages

• Add a source that needs authentication:

  dotnet nuget add source https://someServer/myTeam -n myTeam -u myUsername -p myPassword --store-password-in-clear-text

• Add a source that needs authentication (then go install credential provider):

  dotnet nuget add source https://azureartifacts.microsoft.com/myTeam -n myTeam

• Package source sections in NuGet.config files
• sources command (nuget.exe)
