Github workflow push nuget packages

Question

I am new to GitHub actions. I have created a ci.main workflow. Below is my code.

After running I can't view the package in the repository section.

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest  
    steps:
     
    - name: Checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
     
    - name: Build
       run: >
            dotnet pack package \
                   -p:Version=1.0.0 \
                   -c Release \
                   -o ./location \
                   --include-source  
        
    - name: Push
      run: >
           dotnet nuget push \
           ./location/*.nupkg \
           --source "https://nuget.pkg.github.com/orginization/index.json" \
           --api-key xxxxxxx --skip-duplicate

Answer 1

There are a handful of ways to accomplish this:

1. Automagically

If you publish with the generated token GitHub will automatically attach the repo to the package. Just ensure you have added write permissions on the job:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      packages: write
    steps:
...
    - name: Push
      run: >
           dotnet nuget push \
           ./location/*.nupkg \
           --source "https://nuget.pkg.github.com/orginization/index.json" \
           --api-key ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} --skip-duplicate

2. Manually

This is the easiest method, but will have to be done for every package you publish.

Go to the package page and connect the desired repository repositories: https://github.com/orgs/{org}/packages/nuget/{package}

Note that this appears to be a one-time operation, you cannot undo this without deleting your package and re-pushing.

3. Via Configuration

From docs, by virtue of having 3a, 3b is generated with dotnet pack, but you can manually add to the nuspec if need be.

3a. .csproj

Add the RepositoryUrl

<RepositoryUrl>https://github.com/{org}/{repo}</RepositoryUrl>

3b. .nuspec

Add the repository

<repository url="https://github.com/{org}/{repo}" />
