从GitHub安装nuget包

Question

The command: Install-Package curve25519-uwp installs version 1.0.3 of this package ( https://www.nuget.org/packages/curve25519-uwp/ )

On GitHub there is a version 1.0.4 that fixes a specific error I am facing.

Can anyone explain how to get that package installed?

I am using visual studio 2015 community edition with git tools installed.

With NuGet, there is no way to take a pre-version from a Git repository.

You could:

1. Ask for the release of a new version of the NuGet package, or at least a pre-release.

2. Clone the repository, build the version, and replace the NuGet package with a local dependency. (Not a good solution!)

3. Like the above, but put it in your own NuGet server.

4. Manage the repository as a Git submodule.

5. Switch from NuGet to Paket which supports references toward a Git repository. (Surely the best solution if your case could appear often.)
