When working with your own feed, whether private or public, chances are you want to consume more than just that feed. We see many people using their MyGet feed and the NuGet.org feed simultaneously. Sometimes, an interesting error occurs during package restore. Unable to find version xxxx of package yyyy That’s not funny! You know that the package is on the feed as you’ve installed it from there in the first place! The reason this...

We recently shed a light on how you can easily use additional build tools on MyGet Build Services. However, there is more. A lot more! We always say how much we love our users and this blog post is yet another illustration why we do.

During the summer, GitHub added a great feature for many projects: releases. Projects on GitHub can create a release and label sources, add binaries and release notes. Following the conventions of many Git projects, releases are tied to Git tags. You can use an existing tag, or let releases create the tag when it's published. Since MyGet Build Services supports labeling and we can label sources when pushing packages upstream, GitHub Releases make a great...

When adding package sources through your feed’s settings, a very nice scenario becomes available: the package promotion workflow. In other words: pushing a package from one feed to another. Or in other words: publishing nightlies to MyGet and promoting specific package versions to NuGet.org. With the newly introduced labeling feature, it is now possible to label sources when pushing a package upstream. When enabled, MyGet will find the build from which the package originated and...

Or perhaps you need a different version than the one available by default. If that's the case, you have two options: Download the...
