maven command line how to point to a specific settings.xml for a single command?

We usually keep settings.xml in ~/.m2/settings.xml

But its kind of makes it global

What if we want to have our own local settings.xml instead of default and global one,

You can simply use:

mvn --settings YourOwnSettings.xml clean install

or

mvn -s YourOwnSettings.xml clean install
