105	## NuGet Push to nuget.org
106
107	### Push with `NuGetCommand@2`
108
109	For pushing to external NuGet feeds (nuget.org), use a service connection:
110
111	```yaml
112	- task: NuGetCommand@2

117	nuGetFeedType: 'external'
118	publishFeedCredentials: 'NuGetOrgServiceConnection'

120
121	The service connection stores the nuget.org API key securely. Create it in Project Settings > Service Connections > NuGet.
