KText Plugin Publishing

This guide explains how to publish the KText Plugin either to Maven Local (for testing) or to the Gradle Plugin Portal (for distribution).

---

Setup Gradle Plugin Portal Credentials

You need to provide your Gradle Plugin Portal API keys.
Add the following inside your ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file (machine-wide, not in the project repo):

gradle.publish.key=YOUR_KEY
gradle.publish.secret=YOUR_SECRET

Replace YOUR_KEY and YOUR_SECRET with the values you can get these keys from your Gradle Plugin Portal account.

Publishing Tasks

1. Publish to Maven Local (for testing)

./gradlew publishToMavenLocal

This will install the plugin into your local Maven repository (usually ~/.m2/repository). You can then use it in a sample project with:

plugins {
    id("io.github.kansalmohit19.ktext") version "X.Y.Z"
}

and add:

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
}

2. Publish to Gradle Plugin Portal

./gradlew publishPlugins

This uploads the plugin to the official Gradle Plugin Portal. Once published, others can use it with:

plugins {
    id("io.github.kansalmohit19.ktext") version "X.Y.Z"
}
