NAME

       dotnet-nuget-add-source - Add a NuGet source.

SYNOPSIS

              dotnet nuget add source <PACKAGE_SOURCE_PATH> [--name <SOURCE_NAME>] [--username <USER>]
                  [--password <PASSWORD>] [--store-password-in-clear-text]
                  [--valid-authentication-types <TYPES>] [--configfile <FILE>]

              dotnet nuget add source -h|--help

DESCRIPTION

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

              [!WARNING] When adding multiple package sources, be  careful  not  to  introduce  a
              dependency confusion vulnerability (https://aka.ms/pkg-sec-wp).

ARGUMENTS

       • PACKAGE_SOURCE_PATH

         Path to the package source.

OPTIONS

       • --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.

EXAMPLES

       • 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
