Create an account on the Sonatype issues site. Ask an existing publisher to open
an issue requesting publishing permissions for backfila projects.
Generate a GPG key (RSA, 4096 bit, 3650 day) expiry, or use an existing one. You should leave the password empty for this key.
$ gpg --full-generate-key
Upload the GPG keys to public servers:
$ gpg --list-keys --keyid-format LONG
/Users/johnbarber/.gnupg/pubring.kbx

Define publishing properties in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties:
signing.keyId=1A2345F8
signing.password=
signing.secretKeyRingFile=/Users/jwilson/.gnupg/secring.gpg
signing.keyId is the GPG key's ID. Get it with this:
$ gpg --list-keys --keyid-format SHORT
signing.password is the password for this key. This might be empty!
signing.secretKeyRingFile is the absolute path for secring.gpg. You may need to export this
file manually with the following command where XXXXXXXX is the keyId above:
$ gpg --keyring secring.gpg --export-secret-key XXXXXXXX > ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg
