Summary
This PR updates the README with instructions for configuring NuGet credentials on Windows, addressing the issue raised in #17540 (comment).
Problem
Users attempting to build Cyberduck on Windows encounter 401/403 authentication errors when NuGet tries to access GitHub Package Registry sources (
gh-ikvmnet
andgh-iterate-ch
). Without proper credentials configured, the build fails with cryptic error messages, blocking contributors from building the project locally.Solution
Added a new "NuGet Configuration" section to the Windows prerequisites that provides clear, step-by-step instructions:
read:packages
permissionsThe section is placed logically in the Windows prerequisites, after "System Configuration" and before the "Building" section, ensuring users complete this setup before attempting to build.
