The deploy command in Maven is used to deploy the built project to a remote repository. Here is how you can use the deploy command:

mvn deploy

Before using the deploy command, it is necessary to configure the correct remote repository information in the project’s pom.xml file. This can be achieved by adding and elements under the element.

For example, here is an element in a sample pom.xml configuration file.

<distributionManagement>
    <repository>
        <id>release</id>
        <url>http://example.com/repository/releases</url>
    </repository>
    <snapshotRepository>
        <id>snapshot</id>
        <url>http://example.com/repository/snapshots</url>
    </snapshotRepository>
</distributionManagement>

After setting up the remote repository, deploy the project to the remote repository using the following command:

mvn deploy

The deploy command will carry out the following operations:

  1. Build project
  2. Packaging project.
  3. Generate and upload Javadoc for the project (if configured).
  4. Generate and upload the source code of the project (if configured)
  5. Upload the packaged project to the corresponding location in the remote repository based on the configured and .

Before running the deploy command, make sure that the project’s version number is a unique SNAPSHOT or RELEASE version.
