+### (⚡️ experimental) `publish` support for the Sonatype Central Portal
+This Scala CLI version adds support for publishing artifacts to the Sonatype Central Portal 
+via its [OSSRH Staging API](https://central.sonatype.org/publish/publish-portal-ossrh-staging-api/).
+It is once again publish artifacts to Maven Central with Scala CLI.
+Both stable and `*-SNAPSHOT` versions are handled.

+
+```bash ignore
+scala-cli publish . --power
+```

+
+```bash ignore
+scala-cli repl --jvm 24
+# WARNING: A terminally deprecated method in sun.misc.Unsafe has been called
+# WARNING: sun.misc.Unsafe::objectFieldOffset has been called by scala.runtime.LazyVals$ (file:/Users/pchabelski/Library/Caches/Coursier/v1/https/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/scala-lang/scala3-library_3/3.7.1/scala3-library_3-3.7.1.jar)
+# WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of class scala.runtime.LazyVals$
+# WARNING: sun.misc.Unsafe::objectFieldOffset will be removed in a future release
+# Welcome to Scala 3.7.1 (24.0.1, Java OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM).
+# Type in expressions for evaluation. Or try :help.
+#
