Description

Hello folks!

I see there are two ways of using push.

  1. :repositories key is set: I can use --repo for selecting the one I with to use.
  2. I use --repo-map

But what if I need credentials?

If I understood correctly...I could use option 1 but I cannot insert user and psw. I have to use option 2 but then I need to know the format of the map and I had to check boot.aether to find out.

So either we add the two options or we add more doc to push, or both :smile:

Research direction
Investigate current push implementation in boot's source code, specifically the `push` task and how `:repositories` and ` repo map` are handled. Look at `boot.aether` for credential handling. Determine if credentials can be passed via env vars or config. Propose adding ` username` and ` password` options or improving documentation to explain credential setup. No code changes required for documentation only approach.
