Hey guys, Can somone help me on publishing library on maven repository. I am new in publish library. Actually my goal is to publish artifact in private repository. But I start from basic. I have knowledge to store

mavelLocal

. I want to learn more. Thanks

You can start from here https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/publishing_maven.html The only important aspect you need to know is that the Kotlin Gradle Multiplatform plugin is setting up a publication for you already. So you don't need to create new one like that:

publications {
        create<MavenPublication>("maven") {

You need to define only

repositories

inside

publications

.

Make sure to check all the tasks too. The first time I tried to publish a KMM library, I was calling a task that was meant for jvm, and was wondering why I couldn't import it in a KMM project.

Sure thanks @Landry Norris I'll remember. If anything I'll ask you.

When you create your group in the SonaType Jira (if using mavenCentral), they'll need you to prove that you own the domain by adding a txt file if it's a site or creating a repo if using github. I would highly recommend doing this as soon as you create the ticket to make things faster. I did that, and they were able to create my account without having to add a comment to my ticket and wait for me to respond. Also, for github accounts, the domain is io.github.{your-account-name}, for example, io.github.landrynorris for me.

Right now I'll learn basic and when I understand fully then I'll start looking the publish in github. Thank you so much

GitHub added a new packages feature to host a maven repo, but you have to set that up when using the library. If you want your users to be able to use the library with mavenCentral(), that's where SonaType comes in. When you do that, GitHub is just your domain for your group if you choose to use it. Groups are how you identify whose library it is. If I want library abc, maybe there's abc for org.jetbrains, io.github.a-user, dev.gitlive, etc. The user specifies 'I want library abc from org.jetbrains' and maven finds a library with the matching name, group, and version. It takes a minute to understand, so I'd look to read a few articles and maybe spend some time looking at mavenLocal. Try to understand the ~/.m2 folder, since that's like what it will look like after publishing.

@Landry Norris thank you so much for explaining me in details. I'll try to read some doc and if I face any difficults then I'll ask you
