Release Build

###1) Run everything under bash (see)

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3243755/maven-error-releasing-code-to-github-hangs-after-push

###2) Set up your keys:

https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys

https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/How+To+Generate+PGP+Signatures+With+Maven

###3) Open up your maven settings.xml and insert

<servers>
...
    <server>
      <id>sonatype-nexus-staging</id>
      <username>XXX</username>
      <password>YYY</password>
    </server>
...
<servers>

Or you get this error:

Return code is: 401, ReasonPhrase: Unauthorized

###4) Execute following commands

Configure SSH

ssh-agent

set SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-LhiYjP7924/agent.7924  // Value from above step

set SSH_AGENT_PID=2792 // Value from above step

ssh-add "/Path/To/.ssh/id_rsa"

eval `ssh-agent -s`

ssh -v [email protected]  // Should work without asking for passphrase

If this isn't done correctly the git push and clone commands that run as part of the release will hang.
