+This is the deployment repository for the customized GeoServer version used by GeoSever Cloud
+
+## Install and deploy
+
+On a local machine, before pushing to this github repository, in order to test the artifacts, run
+
+
+```
+make install
+```
+
+The CI build runs instead
+
+```
+make deploy
+```
+
+> `install` does not need to be run before `deploy`
