==== Distributing Plugins in the Grails Central Plugin Repository


The preferred way to distribute plugin is to publish to the official Grails Central Plugin Repository. This will make your plugin visible to the link:{commandLineRef}list-plugins.html[list-plugins] command:

[source,groovy]
----
grails list-plugins
----

which lists all plugins that are in the central repository. Your plugin will also be available to the link:{commandLineRef}plugin-info.html[plugin-info] command:

[source,groovy]
----
grails plugin-info [plugin-name]
----

which prints extra information about it, such as its description, who wrote, etc.

NOTE: If you have created a Grails plugin and want it to be listed on the https://grails.apache.org/plugins.html[plugin portal] website, please submit a pull request on https://github.com/apache/grails-plugins-metadata
