In this step we configure the workstation to allow the developer to access GitHub hosted Nuget packages.

user/Nuget.Config

We use a Nuget.Config in the users folder to provide our repository/package access credentials to the LazyMagicOrg Nuget Package registry. LazyMagicOrg packages are used in our sample system.

Personal Access Token

You will need to provide your github username and a Personal Access Token to access the LazyMagicOrg package repository. To generate a PAT, login to github and navigate to https://github.com/settings/apps.

It is recommended that you keep the scope of access assigned to the PAT as limited as possible. Usually just read:packages.

Nuget.Config File

Navigate to your User folder and create a Nuget.Config file with the following content, replacing the ghp_xxx string with your PAT, and the meongithub with your github handle.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <packageSources>
        <add key="LazyMagic" 
                value = "https://nuget.pkg.github.com/LazyMagicOrg/index.json" />
    </packageSources>
    <packageSourceCredentials>
        <LazyMagic>
            <add key="Username" value="meongithub" />
            <add key="ClearTextPassword" value="ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />
            </LazyMagic>
    </packageSourceCredentials>
</configuration>
