⚠️ This project got completely obsolete, when GitHub introduced Package Registry and Actions. It is now archived ⚠️
⚠️ The code is not validated

Syncs the releases of GitHub projects with a folder at your disk, so that you can use it easily as a nuget source

How can I use it?

Create a config file

Download the executable and run it with the following parameter:

ConvertGHReleasesToNuget.exe --genconf config.json

Now the config file should look like this:

{
  "AuthConfig": {
    "GitHubPersonalAccessToken": "" // Add your token here (NOTE: the token requires the "repo" scope for private repos)
  },
  "ProjectDownloadConfigs": [
    {
      "Owner": "owner", // Name of the owner where you want to download the resources
      "Repo": "repo", // Name of the repo where you want to download the resources
      "IncludePreRelease": false,
      "DownloadDir": "Download" //The directory where the releases are locally stored
    }
  ]
}

Configure it for your purposes.

Create a source folder

Create a easy accessible folder locally e.g. C:\LocalNuGetPackages\Sources and add your configured config.json as well as the executable to C:\LocalNuGetPackages

Run it

Run the executable; it should automatically use the config.json.

If the filename/path of the config is different run ConvertGHReleasesToNuget.exe -c <PathToYourConfigFile>

Context: Archived and now OSS

This is an old project which was created some time ago.
It was migrated to NET Core (should work now properly) and is now archived as OSS, so everyone can learn from it 📖
