NuGet Packages Feed Setup

First, Create a Personal Access Token (PAT) including the read:packages scope.
You'll need a free GitHub account.

Copy the token for reference. It will look something like:

ghp_yLKCoOLozKbaErgl4mCLDtkEKFw6Uq4D3Yyx

Visual Studio

Select Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Settings > Package Sources

Click the ➕ icon, and fill in:

Name: McLaren Applied GitHub Packages
Source: https://nuget.pkg.github.com/mat-docs/index.json

Click Update to save the changes.

When prompted for credentials, enter your GitHub username and PAT:

Command Line

From the terminal, replacing "your_username" and "your_pat":

nuget sources Add -Name "McLaren Applied GitHub Packages" -Username "your_username" -Password "your_pat" -Source "https://nuget.pkg.github.com/mat-docs/index.json"

or:

dotnet nuget add source --name "McLaren Applied GitHub Packages" --username "your_username" --password "your_pat" "https://nuget.pkg.github.com/mat-docs/index.json"

Adding to NuGet.Config

In scripted environments, it can be convenient to add the PAT to a NuGet.Config file.

Caution

Do not commit credentials into source control.
