Description

The Register-PSRepository cmdlet registers the default repository for PowerShell modules. After a repository is registered, you can reference it from the Find-Module, Install-Module, and Publish-Module cmdlets. The registered repository becomes the default repository in Find-Module and Install-Module.

Registered repositories are user-specific. They are not registered in a system-wide context.

This is a proxy cmdlet for the Register-PSResourceRepository cmdlet in the Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet. For more information, see Register-PSResourceRepository.

Examples

Example 1: Register a repository

$parameters = @{
  Name = "myNuGetSource"
  SourceLocation = "https://www.myget.org/F/powershellgetdemo/api/v2"
  PublishLocation = "https://www.myget.org/F/powershellgetdemo/api/v2/Packages"
  InstallationPolicy = 'Trusted'
}
Register-PSRepository @parameters
Get-PSRepository

Name                SourceLocation          OneGetProvider       InstallationPolicy
----                --------------          --------------       ------------------
PSGallery           http://go.micro...      NuGet                Untrusted
myNuGetSource       https://myget.c...      NuGet                Trusted

The first command registers https://www.myget.org/F/powershellgetdemo/ as a repository for the current user. After myNuGetSource is registered, you can explicitly reference it when searching for, installing, and publishing modules. Because the PackageManagementProvider parameter isn't specified, the repository is not explicitly associated with a OneGet package provider, so PowerShellGet polls available package providers and associates it with the NuGet provider.

The second command gets registered repositories and displays the results.

Parameters

-Credential

The proxy cmdlet ignores this parameter since it's not supported by Register-PSResourceRepository.

Type:PSCredential
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Default

Registers PowerShell Gallery as the default repository.

The proxy cmdlet transforms the value of this parameter to the PSGallery parameter of Register-PSResourceRepository.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-InstallationPolicy

Specifies the installation policy. Valid values are: Trusted, UnTrusted. The default value is UnTrusted.

A repository's installation policy specifies PowerShell behavior when installing from that repository. When installing modules from an UnTrusted repository, the user is prompted for confirmation.

The proxy cmdlet transforms the value of this parameter to the Trusted parameter of Register-PSResourceRepository.

Type:String
Accepted values:Trusted, Untrusted
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Name

Specifies the name of the repository to register. You can use this name to specify the repository in cmdlets such as Find-Module and Install-Module.

Type:String
Position:0
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PackageManagementProvider

The proxy cmdlet ignores this parameter since it's not supported by Register-PSResourceRepository.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Proxy

The proxy cmdlet ignores this parameter since it's not supported by Register-PSResourceRepository.

Type:Uri
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ProxyCredential

The proxy cmdlet ignores this parameter since it's not supported by Register-PSResourceRepository.

Type:PSCredential
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PublishLocation

The proxy cmdlet ignores this parameter since it's not supported by Register-PSResourceRepository.

Type:Uri
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ScriptPublishLocation

The proxy cmdlet ignores this parameter since it's not supported by Register-PSResourceRepository.

Type:Uri
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ScriptSourceLocation

The proxy cmdlet ignores this parameter since it's not supported by Register-PSResourceRepository.

Type:Uri
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-SourceLocation

Specifies the URI for discovering and installing modules from this repository. A URI can be a NuGet server feed (most common situation), HTTP, HTTPS, FTP or file location.

For example, for NuGet-based repositories, the source location is similar to https://someNuGetUrl.com/api/v2.

The proxy cmdlet maps this parameter to the Uri parameter of Register-PSResourceRepository

Type:Uri
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

Inputs

PSCredential

Uri

Outputs

Object

Notes

The PowerShell Gallery no longer supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) versions 1.0 and 1.1. You must use TLS 1.2 or higher. Use the following command to ensure you are using TLS 1.2:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
