Github Package Registry Gradle

Example repo showing how to use GPR with a gradle based project.

Creating a package

Essentially followed: https://help.github.com/en/github/managing-packages-with-github-package-registry/configuring-gradle-for-use-with-github-package-registry
Add maven-publish plugin and publishing task to build.gradle file
Create github access token with delete:packages, read:packages, repo, and write:packages scopes
Bake access token into environment variables:
- e.g. on *nix systems:

export GPR_USER=<your_github_user>
export GPR_API_KEY=<your_github_access_token>

./gradlew publish

Your package will be available at https://github.com/<your_github_user>/<your_github_repo>/packages

Unfortunately its not as simple as specfiying something like mavenCentral() in repositories
- Discussion here
You need to authenticate with the GPR (in your build.gradle) after defining the dependencies
IMO this feature is useless until they let you download without authenticating

Create a pipeline which automates the publish step
- E.g. on pull request merge
- BLOCKED because I don't have access to github actions beta
