Apache Maven, Gradle, NuGet, and RubyGems packages

For Java packages with Maven, you just have to add your package registry to the pom.xml file:

<distributionManagement>

  <repository>

    <id>github</id>

    <name>GitHub Packages</name>

    <url>https://maven.pkg.github.com/user/repo</url>

</distributionManagement>
