Creating NuGet Packages via Command Line

NuGet packages provide a convenient way to share and manage code in .NET applications. Creating them from the command
line can streamline the development process. In this article, we will explore how to create a NuGet package using
the command line interface.

To begin, you’ll need to have the necessary tools installed on your system. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate
to the directory containing your project. Ensure that NuGet is installed and available in your PATH.

Next, create a .nuspec file to define the metadata for your package. Include information such as the package ID,
version, authors, description, and dependencies. Once the .nuspec file is ready, run the following command:


nuget pack YourProject.nuspec


This command will build the NuGet package based on the metadata specified in the .nuspec file. Once the process is
complete, you will have a .nupkg file that can be distributed and installed via NuGet.

Creating NuGet packages from the command line is an efficient way to package and distribute your .NET libraries. By
following these steps, you can simplify the sharing and consumption of your code across projects and teams.
