✅ Simple way to push a C# project as a NuGet package within a GitHub workflow yml

I am not sure if there is a better place to ask this question as its really only C# adjacent, but maybe someone here knows the answer. Does anyone have a simple and up to date example of how to push a C# project as a NuGet package for GitHub actions? There are a lot of examples online but all of the ones I can find seem to be out of date or use a third-party workflow which I would like to avoid. If I was using Azure DevOps I would simply add the following to my yml file:

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  displayName: Pack myproject
  inputs:
    command: pack
    packagesToPack: '**/myproject.csproj'
    configuration: release
    versioningScheme: byBuildNumber

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  displayName: Push NuGet packages
  condition: and(succeeded(), eq(variables['Build.SourceBranch'], 'refs/heads/master'))
  inputs:
    command: push
    versioningScheme: byPrereleaseNumber

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  displayName: Pack myproject
  inputs:
    command: pack
    packagesToPack: '**/myproject.csproj'
    configuration: release
    versioningScheme: byBuildNumber

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  displayName: Push NuGet packages
  condition: and(succeeded(), eq(variables['Build.SourceBranch'], 'refs/heads/master'))
  inputs:
    command: push
    versioningScheme: byPrereleaseNumber

however, the GitHub actions equivalent seems to elude me.

run: dotnet pack and run: dotnet nuget push would prolly be the easiest I use

jobs:
  build:
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Build
        run: dotnet build --configuration Release
      - name: Pack
        run: dotnet pack --configuration Release --no-build --output .
      - name: Get version
        uses: kzrnm/get-net-sdk-project-versions-action@v1
        id: get-version
        with:
          proj-path: AnyBaseConverter/AnyBaseConverter.csproj
      - name: Push
        run: dotnet nuget push Atulin.AnyBaseConverter.${{steps.get-version.outputs.package-version}}.nupkg --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json --api-key ${{ secrets.NUGET_KEY }}

jobs:
  build:
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Build
        run: dotnet build --configuration Release
      - name: Pack
        run: dotnet pack --configuration Release --no-build --output .
      - name: Get version
        uses: kzrnm/get-net-sdk-project-versions-action@v1
        id: get-version
        with:
          proj-path: AnyBaseConverter/AnyBaseConverter.csproj
      - name: Push
        run: dotnet nuget push Atulin.AnyBaseConverter.${{steps.get-version.outputs.package-version}}.nupkg --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json --api-key ${{ secrets.NUGET_KEY }}

Awesome thanks @Angius , In case anyone else wants another example here is what I ended up doing

name: Build and Publish Nuget Packages

on:
  push:
    branches: [ master ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ master ]
    
jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: windows-latest

    steps:          
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    
    - name: Install .NET 7
      uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
      with:
        dotnet-version: 7.x
        
    - name: Restore
      run: dotnet restore
      
    - name: Build
      run: dotnet build --configuration Release --no-restore

    - name: Pack myproject
      run: dotnet pack myproject/myproject.csproj --configuration Release --no-build /p:Version=7.0.$env:GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER
      
    - name: Push
      run: dotnet nuget push */**/*.nupkg --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json --api-key ${{ secrets.NUGET_KEY }}

name: Build and Publish Nuget Packages

on:
  push:
    branches: [ master ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ master ]
    
jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: windows-latest

    steps:          
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    
    - name: Install .NET 7
      uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
      with:
        dotnet-version: 7.x
        
    - name: Restore
      run: dotnet restore
      
    - name: Build
      run: dotnet build --configuration Release --no-restore

    - name: Pack myproject
      run: dotnet pack myproject/myproject.csproj --configuration Release --no-build /p:Version=7.0.$env:GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER
      
    - name: Push
      run: dotnet nuget push */**/*.nupkg --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json --api-key ${{ secrets.NUGET_KEY }}

Was this issue resolved? If so, run /close - otherwise I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.

@TeBeConsulting Hey thanks for the refactored implementation. I changed my pipeline to reflect those changes you recommended. However the path part ''./build/packages/*.nupkg" doesnt work. Something to due with running on windows instead of Linux I think, but thats fine honestly.
