Configure Private NuGet

In order to restore private packages from Leverage Software, you will have to create a github personal access token (PAT) and login when you open the project.

1. Create a new Personal Access Token (Classic). Your PATs are under Settings > Developer > Personal Access Tokens.

   • For scopes, you just need read:packages.

   Caution

   The token must be a legacy token. GitHub Packages does not support the new Fine-grained Access Tokens.

2. Confirm that you have read access to the required reposities on GitHub. Each project will have different dependencies, but all should require LeverageSoftwareGroup/greyhound

3. If you haven’t already, create a NuGet.config file in the parent directory above the repository.

   PC Users

   For example, if your repository is in C:\dev\client, then create the file in C:\dev\.

   Mac Users

   For example, if your repository is in /Users/l33t/client, then create the file in /Users/l33t/.

   This file should contain the following:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <configuration>
     <packageSources>
       <add key="github" value="https://nuget.pkg.github.com/LeverageSoftwareGroup/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />
     </packageSources>
     <packageSourceCredentials>
       <github>
         <add key="Username" value="GITHUB_USERNAME" />
         <add key="ClearTextPassword" value="GITHUB_PAT" />
       </github>
     </packageSourceCredentials>
   </configuration>

   Caution

   Be sure to replace GITHUB_USERNAME and GITHUB_PAT with your GitHub username and the personal access token you created in step 1.

4. Open the solution in your IDE and restore the packages.
