How To Setup A Private Nuget Package Repo For MonkeyLoader

Prerequisites

• DotNet8
• Git
• Your own Git server or a git hosting service such as GitHub

Getting Source & Compiling

You will need to clone the Repo and Compile the Debug version of the application

Create a folder and open a command prompt in it, you can select the address bar and type cmd

To clone the repo run git clone https://github.com/MonkeyModdingTroop/ReferencePackageGenerator.git Once you have the source downloaded you need to compile the code, move to the directory with the .csproj file (cd ReferencePackageGenerator) and run dotnet build to build the project

Generate Json File For Publishing

In the project folder find this directory MonkeyLoader.ReferencePackageGenerator\bin\Debug\net8.0 you should see the following

Now last thing we need to do it Generate the Json File open the folder with the .csproj which should be ReferencePackageGenerator\MonkeyLoader.ReferencePackageGenerator in the new prompt type dotnet run

Now open the Json file in any text editor you'd like you should see something like

{
  "DocumentationPath": null,
  "Authors": [],
  "DllTargetPath": "G:\\ResoModding\\ReferencePackageGenerator-master\\MonkeyLoader.ReferencePackageGenerator\\Public",
  "ExcludePatterns": [
    "Microsoft\\..+",
    "System\\..+",
    "Mono\\..+",
    "UnityEngine\\..+"
  ],
  "IconPath": null,
  "IconUrl": null,
  "IncludePatterns": [
    ".+\\.dll",
    ".+\\.exe"
  ],
  "NupkgTargetPath": "G:\\ResoModding\\ReferencePackageGenerator-master\\MonkeyLoader.ReferencePackageGenerator\\Packages",
  "PackageIdPrefix": "",
  "ProjectUrl": null,
  "PublishTarget": null,
  "Recursive": false,
  "RepositoryUrl": null,
  "SourcePath": "G:\\ResoModding\\ReferencePackageGenerator-master\\MonkeyLoader.ReferencePackageGenerator",
  "Tags": [],
  "TargetFramework": null,
  "VersionBoost": "0.0",
  "VersionOverrides": null
}

The main things we need to edit will be

"DllTargetPath"
"NupkgTargetPath"
"SourcePath"
"Authors"
"PublishTarget"

In authors put your account name in a list. "Authors": ["TumnusB"], as an example

Dll Target Path is where the DLLs will get copied to with some code

NupkgTargetPath is where the generated nupkg will get placed

Source Path is where we will get the DLLs from resonite which you can find via steam, right click on resonite and then manage and browse local files

Once you have the folder open you need to navigate to Resonite_Data\Managed

Once here click the address bar and copy the path and paste it to SourcePath Finally we need to add some Keys to the PublishTarget

    "PublishTarget": {
        "ApiKey": "ghp-xxxxxxx",
        "Publish": true,
        "Source": "https://nuget.pkg.github.com/TumnusB/index.json"
    },

Replace source with your own user and the ApiKey with your own access key. Make sure the key has the write:packages permission (If you're using github, you can add the key here with this)

Optionally add a prefix to the packages such as Resonite via editing the "PackageIdPrefix": "", key

Finally Run The .EXE And Pass It The Json File

Copy the JSON into the same folder as the .exe to make life easier and then open a CMD prompt in that folder then run the program with the json file as an argument ReferencePackageGenerator.exe Resonite.Unity.json

Once you set up like this you should be able to just hit enter and it will start to publish the pakages

Adding Packages to your Repo

dotnet nuget push FilePaath/FileName.nupkg -s https://nuget.pkg.github.com/TumnusB/index.json -k ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Replace my user and token with your own

Adding Repo To Your Project

Once you have a Project set up you can run the following command in the folder of the .csproj dotnet nuget add source https://nuget.pkg.github.com/TumnusB/index.json --name github-TumnusB --username gh-TumnusB --password ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Replace my user and token with your own
