help or ? command (NuGet CLI)

Applies to: all • Supported versions: all

Displays general help information and help information about specific commands.

Usage

nuget help [command] [options]
nuget ? [command] [options]

where [command] identifies a specific command for which to display help.

Warning

With some commands, be mindful to specify help first, as with nuget help install, because there is a package named "help" on nuget.org. If you give the command nuget install help, you won't get help on the install command but will instead install the package named help.

Options

  • -All

    Print detailed help for all available commands; ignored if a specific command is given.

  • -ConfigFile

    The NuGet configuration file to apply. If not specified, %AppData%\NuGet\NuGet.Config (Windows), or ~/.nuget/NuGet/NuGet.Config or ~/.config/NuGet/NuGet.Config (Mac/Linux) is used.

  • -ForceEnglishOutput

    (3.5+) Forces nuget.exe to run using an invariant, English-based culture.

  • -?|-help

    Displays help information for the command.

  • -Markdown

    Print detailed help in markdown format when used with -All. Ignored otherwise.

  • -NonInteractive

    Suppresses prompts for user input or confirmations.

  • -Verbosity [normal|quiet|detailed]

    Specifies the amount of detail displayed in the output: normal (the default), quiet, or detailed.
