How to Fix Your NuGet Config File

If you cannot restore your NuGet files because of a missing entry for NuGet.org or any other problem, open the root folder of your project and run this command:

1
dotnet new nugetconfig

This will create a new nuget.config file with this content:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <!--To inherit the global NuGet package sources remove the <clear/> line below -->
    <clear />
    <add key="nuget" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration>

From here on, you can add your additional feeds and Visual Studio should recover your packages without any further hassles.
