dotnet add package GitPackage --version 0.1.0
NuGet\Install-Package GitPackage -Version 0.1.0
This command is intended to be used within the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio, as it uses the NuGet module's version of Install-Package. 
<PackageReference Include="GitPackage" Version="0.1.0" />
For projects that support PackageReference, copy this XML node into the project file to reference the package. 
paket add GitPackage --version 0.1.0
#r "nuget: GitPackage, 0.1.0"
#r directive can be used in F# Interactive and Polyglot Notebooks. Copy this into the interactive tool or source code of the script to reference the package.

#addin nuget:?package=GitPackage&version=0.1.0

// Install GitPackage as a Cake Tool
#tool nuget:?package=GitPackage&version=0.1.0

Overview

.NET Tooling to use git repositories as packages.

Why?

Sometimes I don't want to take a dependency on a NuGet package. I might be just wanting one or two classes.

This is an approach to import files directly from a git repository into my project(s).

Get started

Add the following to your project .csproj

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="GitPackage" Version="0.1.0" /> 
  
  <GitPackage Include="AbsUrl" Version="1.0.0" Uri="https://gist.github.com/383acd462242194024981fbe53a84980.git" />
  <GitPackage Include="HttpError" Version="1.0.0" Uri="https://gist.github.com/6414276f4e3745473c699c1941549710.git" />
</ItemGroup>

Usage Details

The Git command MUST be available on the path.

The git repository should use Tags to identify specific version(s).

Add reference to the package.

<ItemGroup>
  <GitPackage 
    Include="Sample" 
    Version="2" 
    Uri="C:\tmp\Sample" />
</ItemGroup>

Where

Attribute Sample Description
Include Sample Name used for package
Version 2 Git tag used to identify version
Uri C:\tmp\Sample Uri to git repository

How it works

A custom build task is used to manage the GitPackages

On restore (build)

  1. Current data from project's gist folder is read
  2. Clone any missing repository's to local cache folder (HOME/.gitpack)
  3. Fetch if local clone doesn't have Version (tag).
  4. Delete current project gists that don't match.
  5. add workspace in project for each package; using Version tag.
