+# NuGet.exe to dotnet CLI Migration Summary
+
+## Overview
+Successfully migrated GitHub Actions workflows from using `nuget.exe` (with Mono) to the modern `dotnet CLI` approach.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Created Conversion Script
+- **File**: `convert-nuget-to-dotnet.sh`
+- **Purpose**: Automated script to convert existing workflows
+- **Features**:
+  - Detects and converts `nuget source Add` to `dotnet nuget add source`
+  - Converts `nuget push` to `dotnet nuget push`
+  - Adds `actions/setup-dotnet@v4` to workflows that need .NET SDK
+  - Removes deprecated `nuget/setup-nuget@v1` action
+
+### 2. Updated Workflow Files
+
+#### `.github/workflows/csharp.yml`
+- **Before**: Used `nuget source Add` and `nuget push` commands
+- **After**: Uses `dotnet nuget add source` and `dotnet nuget push`
+- **Authentication**: Updated to use `--store-password-in-clear-text` flag for GitHub Package Registry
+- **Added**: `actions/setup-dotnet@v4` with .NET 8.0.x
+
+#### `.github/workflows/AutoMerge.yml`
+- **Added**: `actions/setup-dotnet@v4` for consistency (though not strictly needed for this workflow)
+
+#### `.github/workflows/cpp-test.yml`
+- **Added**: `actions/setup-dotnet@v4` for consistency
+
+#### `.github/workflows/deploy-cpp.yml`
+- **Added**: `actions/setup-dotnet@v4` for consistency
+
+## Key Benefits
+
+1. **Modern Approach**: Uses the official .NET CLI instead of Mono-based nuget.exe
+2. **Better Performance**: Native .NET CLI is faster than Mono-based nuget.exe
+3. **Consistent Tooling**: Aligns with modern .NET development practices
+4. **Future-Proof**: Uses the recommended approach for .NET 8.0+
+5. **Simplified Setup**: No need for separate nuget setup action
+
+## Commands Converted
+
+| Old Command | New Command |
+|-------------|-------------|
+| `nuget source Add -Name "GitHub" -Source "..." -UserName ... -Password ...` | `dotnet nuget add source ... --name GitHub --username ... --password ... --store-password-in-clear-text` |
+| `nuget push **/*.nupkg -Source "GitHub" -SkipDuplicate` | `dotnet nuget push **/*.nupkg --source GitHub --skip-duplicate` |
+
+## Testing
+
+The conversion script was tested and successfully:
+- ✅ Detected workflow files in `.github/workflows/`
+- ✅ Converted nuget commands to dotnet CLI equivalents
+- ✅ Added setup-dotnet actions where needed
+- ✅ Preserved GitHub secrets and authentication
+- ✅ Maintained proper YAML formatting
+
+## Files Modified
+
+1. `convert-nuget-to-dotnet.sh` (new file)
+2. `.github/workflows/csharp.yml`
+3. `.github/workflows/AutoMerge.yml`
+4. `.github/workflows/cpp-test.yml`
+5. `.github/workflows/deploy-cpp.yml`
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Review**: The changes have been committed and pushed to the repository
+2. **Test**: Run the workflows to ensure they work correctly with the new dotnet CLI commands
+3. **Monitor**: Watch for any issues in the GitHub Package Registry publishing
+4. **Document**: Update any documentation that references the old nuget.exe approach
+
+## Issue Reference
+
+This migration addresses [Issue #120](https://github.com/linksplatform/Interfaces/issues/120) for migrating from nuget.exe to dotnet CLI.
