Push

Push Command (choco push)

Chocolatey will attempt to push a compiled nupkg to a package feed. Some may prefer to use cpush as a shortcut for choco push.

📝 NOTE 100% compatible with older chocolatey client (0.9.8.32 and below) with options and switches. Default push location is deprecated and will be removed by v1. In most cases you can still pass options and switches with one dash (-). For more details, see how to pass arguments (choco -?).

A feed can be a local folder, a file share, the community feed (https://push.chocolatey.org/), or a custom/private feed. For web feeds, it has a requirement that it implements the proper OData endpoints required for NuGet packages.

Usage

choco push [<path to nupkg>] [<options/switches>]
cpush [<path to nupkg>] [<options/switches>]

📝 NOTE If there is more than one nupkg file in the folder, the command will require specifying the path to the file.

Examples

choco push --source https://chocolatey.org/
choco push --source "'https://chocolatey.org/'" -t 500
choco push --source "'https://chocolatey.org/'" -k="'123-123123-123'"

📝 NOTE See scripting in how to pass arguments (choco -?) for how to write proper scripts and integrations.

Troubleshooting

To use this command, you must have your API key saved for the community feed (chocolatey.org) or the source you want to push to. Or you can explicitly pass the apikey to the command. See apikey command help for instructions on saving your key:

choco apikey -?

A common error is Failed to process request. 'The specified API key does not provide the authority to push packages.' The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.. This means the package already exists with a different user (API key). The package could be unlisted. You can verify by going to https://push.chocolatey.org/packages/packageName. Please contact the administrators of https://push.chocolatey.org/ if you see this and you don't see a good reason for it.

Exit Codes

Exit codes that normally result from running this command.

Normal:

0: operation was successful, no issues detected
-1 or 1: an error has occurred

If you find other exit codes that we have not yet documented, please file a ticket so we can document it at https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/new/choose.

Options and Switches

📝 NOTE Options and switches apply to all items passed, so if you are running a command like install that allows installing multiple packages, and you use --version=1.0.0, it is going to look for and try to install version 1.0.0 of every package passed. So please split out multiple package calls when wanting to pass specific options.

Includes default options/switches (included below for completeness).
