How to use a forked project as a maven artifact without setting up nexus

1) use jitpack package repository for maven/gradle, 2) point to that repository, thats it, i.e.

Maven 1)

<repository>
<id>jitpack.io</id>
<url>https://jitpack.io</url>
</repository>

2)

<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.your_username</groupId>
<artifactId>repo_name</artifactId>
<version>release_tag</version>
</dependency>

or in gradle 1):

repositories {
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

2)

dependencies {
implementation(“com.github.your_username:repo_name:release_tag”)
}
