For reference here's my

build.gradle.kts

I can use this to publish to maven local and via setting the project name to be

rootProject.name = "gitlab-publish.gradle.plugin"

this puts everything in what appears to be the right directory when published to maven local. But when I try to use the plugin

id("gitlab-publish") version "1.0-SNAPSHOT"

it says it can't be found.

Build file '/home/arimil/Development/gitlab-publish/build.gradle.kts' line: 6

Plugin [id: 'gitlab-publish', version: '1.0-SNAPSHOT'] was not found in any of the following sources:

* Try:
> Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.
> Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
> Run with --scan to get full insights.

why are you trying to apply

gitlab-publish

if the documentation specifies

plugin-publish

? nevermind, completely misunderstood the question...

That did the trick, thanks.
