Hello.

I have created a java library module in Android Studio. I have uploaded that module to GitHub.

So can I use that module as a dependency in my other project from GitHub?
Can I use something like

implementation ‘GIT_HUB_LINK’ ??

Not directly.

jitpack.io automatically creates Maven-style artifacts from a GitHub repository, though presumably there are some rules about the repository structure that you need to comply with. There may be other similar solutions.

@mmurphy I was looking something similar. I was about to ask this question. I have a library which is at GitHub, I have a project in which I want to use. I also want some automation in the library project in such a way that whenever I push code inside the library Github, it will create a new release and I can consume that library in my project. So far I try this link integration guide for bintray. I want your suggestion and guide which is a better option? For the current scenario, I have to go on to the Github library project need to run action flows to make a new release. Can you provide me some link from your book about it.

I have never used either option, so I cannot comment on them. Sorry!
