This is a sample repo that demonstrates a simple bootstrap flow for initializing a dev environment with nuget.exe and the AuthHelper.

From a command prompt, run the following:

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-nuget-sample.git
cd vsts-nuget-sample
init

The purpose of init is pretty straightforward. It will:

• Download the NuGet toolset from a public endpoint in your account. This only occurs if the tools aren't present or are out-of-date.
• Run the AuthHelper to provision credentials for VSO sources listed in the repo's nuget.config. AuthHelper uses ADAL to obtain personal access tokens non-interactively. The access tokens are stored in the user's machine-wide nuget.config.
• (Optionally) Restore tools packages using NuGet. There's a packages.config file under .nuget\tools which can be populated with a list of all tools to be restored during init.

The bootstrap flow described above is made possible by a set of scripts which are wrapped up in a NuGet package as well: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.NuGet.Bootstrap. If you're interested in using this flow in your codebase, you can leverage this package to install the bootstrap scripts. Get started with that documentation.
