+## Publish to Maven Central
+
+To deploy for the first time, run the following
+
+```shell
+export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
+gpg --gen-key
+gpg2 --list-keys
+gpg --keyserver hkp://185.125.188.26 --send-keys XXXXXXXX # key is from --list-keys
+
+mvn versions:set -DnewVersion={new_version}
+```
+(You need not run the commands that start with `gpg` if you already generated a key before. You would need to run `export GPG...` and `mvn version...` though)
+
+Make the following changes to the pom.xml

+Run `mvn clean deploy` to deploy. Then go to https://central.sonatype.com/publishing, find NonDex in the "Deployment" side bar (on the left), select it, and click "Publish".   Running `gpgconf --kill gpg-agent` between attempts to deploy may help if gpg was interrupted.
+
+Last deploy was done on asedl in `~/iDFlakies-deploy`.

+## Publish to Gradle Plugin Portal
+
+First, update the version in the Gradle build file - the following is the example that bumps from v2.2.1 to v2.2.5:
+```shell
+diff --git a/nondex-gradle-plugin/plugin/build.gradle b/nondex-gradle-plugin/plugin/build.gradle
+index 464d8fe..3846757 100644

+ group = "edu.illinois"
+-version = "2.2.1"
++version = "2.2.5"
+ 
+ repositories {

+```
+
+Then modify `~/.gradle/gradle.properties` to add your API keys:
+```shell
+org.gradle.vfs.watch=true
+gradle.publish.key=xxx
+gradle.publish.secret=xxxxx
+```
+
+Finally, publish the NonDex Gradle plugin:
+```shell
+cd nondex-gradle-plugin
