JitPack is a package repository for JVM and Android projects that builds Git projects on demand and serves ready-to-use artifacts (jar, aar). This repository hosts its documentation and issue tracker.

Use cases

• publish a JVM library from a GitHub repo without manual upload steps
• consume a GitHub library as a Gradle or Maven dependency
• build Android aar artifacts from Git tags or commit hashes
• use branch snapshots or commit hashes as dependency versions
• make a GitHub project buildable by anyone

When to choose

• you want to distribute a JVM or Android library straight from a Git repository
• you need to depend on a GitHub project without the author publishing to Maven Central
• you want on-demand builds of tagged releases or snapshots

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose artifact registry with full metadata control like Maven Central
• your project is not hosted on GitHub or another supported Git host
• you need private packages without a paid plan
