Push packages to a feed. Pass a ProjectRef to push from bin/Release/*.nupkg, or a path/glob. Defaults: NuGet.org, skip duplicates (won't fail if version already exists).
var app = Dotnet.Project("./src/MyLib/MyLib.csproj");
Nuget.Pack(app);

Nuget.Push(app);
Nuget.Push("./packages/MyLib.1.0.0.nupkg");Authentication
NuGet.org requires an API key for publishing packages. You can generate one at nuget.org/account/apikeys.
For CI/CD, set the NUGET_API_KEY environment variable and access it via Vars["NUGET_API_KEY"].
Example
Build a library and publish to NuGet.org.
build.csando
// Define project reference
var App = Dotnet.Project("./src/MyLib/MyLib.csproj");
// Build the project
Dotnet.Build(App);
// Create NuGet package (outputs to bin/Release)
Nuget.Pack(App);
// Authenticate and push to NuGet.org
// Defaults: nuget.org, skips if version already exists
Nuget.EnsureAuthenticated();
Nuget.Push(App);
