Manual Release via Plugin

[jamesward]

I have a CI action where I want to break the publishing to the staging repo apart from the release.
I have a Gradle task that does:

./gradlew publishToMavenCentral

And later does:

./gradlew releaseRepository

But this results in the following on releaseRepository:

A deployment id needs to be provided with `--repository` when publishing through Central Portal

Is there another way to break these two tasks apart?

We could probably write the id to a file when running publishToMavenCentral. Then you could do ./gradlew releaseRepository --repository $(cat fixed/file/location)
