DevOpsFeedHelper

This repository contains of a Powershell module that can help with connecting to and maintaining DevOps Artifacts Feed connections. This module is created because the current version of PowerShellGet has some limitations with connecting to DevOps Artifacts Feeds. This should be fixed in a later release of PowerShellGet. See notes within function Register-DevOpsFeed.

When using msbuild, NuGet.exe and/or dotnet Azure Artifacts Credential Provider is GA.

Installation and Update

This module is available on the PowerShell Gallery and can be installed like so:

PS> Install-Module -Name DevOpsFeedHelper -Scope CurrentUser

If the module was installed via Install-Module it can be conveniently updated from an elevated PowerShell:

PS> Update-Module -Name DevOpsFeedHelper

Getting Started

You should start with setting up the feed context. This can be done through:

PS> Set-DevOpsFeedContext -OrganizationName "Contoso" -ProjectName "MyFirstProject" -FeedName "PrivateFeed"

Next step is setting up credentials. This can be done with the following code. Enter your PAT when password is requested.

PS> $Cred = Get-Credential
PS> Set-DevOpsFeedCredential -Username $Cred.GetNetworkCredential().UserName -PatToken $Cred.GetNetworkCredential().Password

Now you can register the DevOps Feed with the context created in the previous step. Do this by using:

PS> Register-DevOpsFeed

You can now close the current session (or not) and still keep the connection with the DevOps Artifacts feed. To check a list of available modules within the feed you can use:

PS> Find-DevOpsFeedModule

Install a specific module by entering:

PS> Install-DevOpsFeedModule -Name "My.PublishModule"

Documentation

The module is documented through PS help. This is resonably readable with the PowerShell command Get-Help.

For example:

PS> Get-Help about_DevOpsFeedHelper

PS> Get-Help Register-DevOpsFeed -Online
