Push NuGet to GitHub Package Registry

I am unable to push NuGet packages to the GitHub Package Registry because it requires a NuGet source to be created instead of just passing the token. I found the following issues:

https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/8580
https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/4126

So it appears that it's a limitation of the GitHub Package Registry for NuGet that requires a package source to be created with a username set. Here are the instructions on the GitHub site:
https://help.github.com/en/articles/configuring-nuget-for-use-with-github-package-registry

Is there any chance something could be done on the AppVeyor side to make it so that a source is created with a username and then published?

   Hi Eric,

   How do you currently publish the package: via Environments or deployment step during the build?

   I’m using Environments to deploy.

   OK, thanks. Will take a look how publishing could be improved to support GPR.

   We've implemented GPR support. This will be deployed to the production later this week. Please watch this issue: https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/3104

   Did this make it out last week? I guess the issue will be marked as closed when it is out there?

   Hi Eric,

   Yes, that was deployed yesterday and you can give it a try. There is a new "Username" field on NuGet environment settings. Once specified deployment provider will be using Basic auth to push the package.

   Some notes:

   1. For API key use GitHub Personal Access Token, not your GitHub password: https://help.github.com/en/articles/configuring-nuget-for-use-with-...
      
   2. Source URL must be in the form https://nuget.pkg.github.com/OWNER/index.json

   Let me know how that worked.

   Hmm... I do not see a username setting for my NuGet environment. I tried creating a new one as well and I still don't see it.

   Well, I just did a hard refresh and I see it now. I will give it a try.
