Hi,

Thanks for getting in touch! Could you tell me about your solution, what build server you use and what format you would like to zip in, and I should be able to assist with some guides, videos and documentation.
The more information you can give me the more specific I can be :slight_smile:

Hi ,

I m using visual studio online. I am not using any build server for this project. I want to handle this on my visual studio publish or build. The format of the package can be nuget or zip,

Hi there,

You could modify the post-build events of your project in Solution -> Right click on [project] -> Properties -> Build Events -> Post build event command line and add a command that calls Octo.exe pack to create the package and then Octo.exe push to push it to the repository.

Octo.exe pack: https://octopus.com/docs/packaging-applications/nuget-packages/using-octo.exe

Octo.exe push: https://octopus.com/docs/api-and-integration/octo.exe-command-line/pushing-packages

I would recommend you to set this build event only for the Release configuration, so it doesn’t run every single time you run a Debug build locally.

Hope that helps,
Dalmiro

Thanks Dalmiro. I am able to achieve this now using post build events and powershell. Thanks for your help.
