Install a Nuget Package from Github Packages Within a Github Action

Question

I am trying to install a Nuget package that is hosted in Github Packages while running a Github Action.

This command works to add the source and the build is working:

dotnet nuget add source https://nuget.pkg.github.com/<ORGNAME>/index.json -n github -u <MY_USERNAME> -p ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} --store-password-in-clear-text

So - this is working and my build runs fine.

But - I'd like to remove -u <MY_USERNAME> from the action. I'd like to use a generic value like ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}. If I leave the org or whatever - I don't want a dependency on a specific account.

Can you use anither username? For example tze name of the committer? — dan1st, Feb 18 '21 at 17:44
That would require a committer to have access to read the packages (which is almost certainly already the case). I think it would be a good workaround to my issue - but it doesn't feel like a good final solution. I will likely implement this if another option is not available. — jjnguy, Feb 18 '21 at 17:51
@dan1st that was the workaround I've used previously too. It works well. We use a service account username. — jjnguy, Feb 18 '21 at 18:29
Are you sure you need a username? It should work with just the token. — Max, Feb 24 '21 at 02:01
@Max a username is indeed required. Otherwise you get the following error message: Both UserName and Password must be specified. — Crono, Sep 08 '21 at 19:37

Use --username ${{ github.actor }}
