How do i clone a feed (packages) into a new feed?

[nachtmahr]

Hello,

is there a built-in way to clone a feed into a new one? We need a feed with a new name, but the NuGet Packages we store inside need to be the same packages as the initial clone. These two feeds will differ later on, but are pointing to different software versions on our end.

If there is an easy way, what would be the necessary steps?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi @nachtmahr ,

There is no "clone" method per se, but you can accomplish this by bulk-importing packages into a new feed: https://docs.inedo.com/docs/proget/feeds/feed-overview/proget-bulk-import

Thanks for the answer. Can i use the already existing folder where the packages are stored from the source feed as well?

I just want to make sure all packages are copied over to the new feed.

Or maybe there is an export function for the used packages?

Hi @nachtmahr,

Yes, that's what I would reommend doing -- using the internal storage path. Just make sure to NOT select the option to delete the files and make sure to select "search subdirectories" so everything will be imported.
