Publish NuGet packages

Buddy turns deployments into a breeze, allowing you to automatically build and push packages to the NuGet Gallery: Pipeline example

NuGet Configuration

To configure NuGet you first need an account on nuget.org. To push packages to the gallery, you need an API key that can be found on your NuGet account page in the API Keys section (if you don't have any API key you can generate one there).

With the NuGet account and the API key created, you can now proceed to your project. First, add the NugetDemo.nuspec file to your project directory:

Filesystem window

In this file, you have to specify the following:

• <id> – unique id of the package. It will also server as the package name displayed in the Package Manager Console and will be used in the Install-Package command
• <version> – package version in a 1.2.3 format
• <authors> – list of authors separated with commas
• <description> – package description that will be displayed in 'Add Package Dialog' in the Package Manager console and after using the Git-Package command

Pipeline configuration

With everything set up, you can now add a new pipeline:
