How to publish nuget prerelease version package

Question

I understand how to publish a nuget package using nuget command line

nuget command line

But I Have searched around I don\'t find docs about how to publish

Answer 1

Also, prerelease version don't show up if their version number is lower than the stable version. For example if you have

• MyNuget v1.0.26
• MyNuget v1.0.25-beta

Only the stable version will appear in the list.

If you have

• MyNuget v1.0.26
• MyNuget v1.1.25-beta

The Prerelease version will be installable.

Answer 2

You only need to specify a version string that uses SemVer format (e.g. 1.0-beta) instead of the usual format (e.g. 1.0) and NuGet will automatically treat it as a prerelease package.

"As of NuGet 1.6, NuGet supports the creation of prerelease packages by specifying a prerelease string in the version number according to the Semantic Versioning (SemVer) specification." See NuGetDocs - Prerelease Versions
