Let’s break down Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force .
Here is the explanatory text for the command: install-packageprovider -name nuget -force
Agent Thompson looked impressed. "Nice work, Rachel! But why did we need to use -Force ?" install-packageprovider -name nuget -force
: This specifies that you are looking for the NuGet provider specifically (as opposed to others like Chocolatey or Gist). install-packageprovider -name nuget -force
If you’ve manually placed the NuGet provider .nupkg in a local repository, -Force ensures that PowerShell doesn't try to use a cached, broken version and instead re-reads from your trusted source.
