How do I set up GitLab runner to pull from a private NuGet repo on build of my project?

Question

How do I set up GitLab runner to pull from a private NuGet repo on build of my project? For example I have a project using a package from Telerik. When I created the yaml file and tell the CI to build it fails with error unable to find package Telerik.UI.for.Blazor. No packages exist with this id in source(s): nuget.org. I also have a private repo on one of our company servers that I would need to pull packages from.

I have found a solution to this, not sure it is the best solution. I added a NuGet.config file with the package source and credentials as suggested in these links.

The project now pulls the dll from Telerik and builds. Only problem is my Telerik creds are now in GitLab.
