Is there any documentation anywhere about how to add an environment variable from a

local.properties

file into a buildscript with the gradle kotlin dsl? I can only find really old posts that don't seem to work anymore. For context, I'm trying to load a GPG user/pass/keyring into my buildscript for publishing a release version of my project to sonatype.. if anyone knows a better way to do this I am all ears.

you can put your keys inside

~/.gradle/gradle.properties

I am trying to input them via console from the example from the Gradle docs, will see how it goes

then you can use

-Pkey=some -Ppass=some-pass

params to gradle task

ooh good idea, I will do that

is it to publish Gradle plugin?

Maven-Publish

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/signing_plugin.html#signing_plugin - this actually what

maven-publish

is using for signing. So you can use

-Psigning,keyId=<key_id> -Psigning.pasword=<password>

Ooh thank you! Will try this out
