How again do I use Maven Local from a main.kts script again?
I'm pretty sure I did it before, but don't remember how.

I've used this in the past:
```@file:Repository("file:///Users/mbonnin/.m2/repository")```

IIRC you also need to add maven central again if doing this because adding any custom repo disables the default one
```@file:Repository("<https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/>")```

Yeah, just that it doesn't work though, at least anymore.
```build.main.kts:5:1: warning: file 'io.github.typesafegithub:github-workflows-kt:2.3.1-SNAPSHOT' not found
build.main.kts:5:1: warning: file 'C:\Users\bkautler\.m2\repository\io.github.typesafegithub:github-workflows-kt:2.3.1-SNAPSHOT' not found
build.main.kts:5:1: warning: artifactResolutionException: Could not find artifact io.github.typesafegithub:shared-internal:jar:2.3.1-SNAPSHOT in https___repo.maven.apache.org_maven2_ (<https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/>)```

(installing kotlin on the new laptop... :sweat_smile: )

Not
```@file:Repository("file:///C:/Users/bkautler/.m2/repository/")
@file:DependsOn("io.github.typesafegithub:github-workflows-kt:2.3.1-SNAPSHOT")```
but
```@file:Repository("file:///C:/Users/bkautler/.m2/repository/")
@file:DependsOn("io/github/typesafegithub/github-workflows-kt/2.3.1-SNAPSHOT/github-workflows-kt-2.3.1-SNAPSHOT.jar")```
or
```@file:Repository("file:///C:/Users/bkautler/.m2/repository/io/github/typesafegithub/github-workflows-kt/2.3.1-SNAPSHOT/")
@file:DependsOn("github-workflows-kt-2.3.1-SNAPSHOT.jar")```
A `file:///` repo is used as flatdir repo

This works on macOS:
```#! /usr/bin/env kotlin
@file:Repository("file:///Users/mbonnin/.m2/repository")
@file:DependsOn("com.apollographql.apollo:apollo-runtime-jvm:4.0.1-SNAPSHOT")

import com.apollographql.apollo.ApolloClient

println(ApolloClient::class)```

Maybe
```@file:Repository("&lt;file://C&gt;:/Users/bkautler/.m2/repository/")```
(only 2 `/` )?

Tried everything from 0 to 5 slashes, none work as Maven repo

Oh wait, reading helps. In some cases it did complain about a dependency I did not publish to MavenLocal alongside. :face_palm:

Argh, that was the full problem even in the cases where it did not complain about the dependency.
Now that I added the missing dependency it works with 0 to 5 slashes just fine.

At least we now know, that you can use it as Maven repo as well as as flatdir repo

Where you then of course miss eventual dependencies

&gt; 0 to 5 slashes 
"be flexible about what you receive" :sweat_smile:

Cool that it works in all cases :slightly_smiling_face:

Ah, nice, this also works (short of the dependencies of course):
```@file:Repository("file:///D:/Sourcecode/other/github-workflows-kt/")
@file:DependsOn("github-workflows-kt/build/classes/kotlin/main/")```

And a file-based repo also seems to not suppress the default MC repo

Ah, no, that was because stuff was in maven local already

FTR, this works on Linux: <https://github.com/typesafegithub/github-workflows-kt/blob/0a0c013f2f4e0c847fdba932e02473963439917d/.github/workflows/end-to-end-tests.main.kts#L2>

Yeah, all fine, just had `shared-internal` not published to maven local
