# Core Plugin. ## Extension. ### Extension Git. The GitExtension enhances versioning by dynamically appending the Git hash before "snapshot" in the version string. For example, 0.0.0-SNAPSHOT becomes 0.0.0.0a2b3c4d-SNAPSHOT, ensuring each build reflects its commit origin, prevents overwriting existing versions. This feature aids developers during development by providing clear version identification. ## Releasing gradle plugin locally. ```shell ./gradlew clean publishToMavenLocal ``` ## Releasing gradle plugin. Run release pipeline from `master` branch. ### Publish gradle plugin to repository. ```shell ./gradlew clean publishAllPublicationsToGiteaPackagesRepository ``` ## Global gradle properties. To authenticate with Gradle to access repositories that require authentication, you can set your user and token in the `gradle.properties` file. Here's how you can do it: 1. Open or create the `gradle.properties` file in your Gradle user home directory: - On Unix-like systems (Linux, macOS), this directory is typically `~/.gradle/`. - On Windows, this directory is typically `C:\Users\\.gradle\`. 2. Add the following lines to the `gradle.properties` file: ```properties repository..user=your_user repository..token=your_token_value ``` or use environment variables `REPOSITORY_USER` and `REPOSITORY_TOKEN`
