Using nightly builds

On every commit to the v2.0 branch, packages for each project and template are automatically generated and published to the GitHub Packages Registry.

If you plan to use those packages, you’ll need to add a nuget.config file to your solution folder and you’ll need to add a source pointing to https://nuget.pkg.github.com/fabulous-dev/index.json.

You’ll also new to generate a GitHub PAT (personal access token) for your account and set that token in the nuget.config file.

For instructions on how to generate a GitHub PAT, see Authenticating with a Personal Access Token.

Example of nuget.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <packageSources>
        <clear />
        <add key="nuget" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
        <!-- For nightly builds -->
        <add key="fabulous-dev" value="https://nuget.pkg.github.com/fabulous-dev/index.json" />
    </packageSources>
    <packageSourceCredentials>
        <fabulous-dev>
            <add key="Username" value="USERNAME" />
            <add key="ClearTextPassword" value="TOKEN" />
        </fabulous-dev>
    </packageSourceCredentials>
</configuration>

Using nightly templates

It’s the same than above, except you’ll need to create nuget.config first so the dotnet CLI can retrieve the templates from GitHub.

Once you configured nuget.config, you can run

dotnet new -i Fabulous.XamarinForms.Templates::XYZ

where XYZ is the latest version from Fabulous.XamarinForms.Templates versions.
