My gradle script look like this, I am not sure how to connect the dots:

It's a bit late, but I'd like to show you how I got it to work. Maybe it helps someone stumbling across this question as I did:

build.gradle.kts:

plugins {
    java
    `maven-publish`
    id("com.github.johnrengelman.shadow") version "5.1.0"
}
publishing {
    publications {
        create("maven") {
            from(components["java"])
            artifact(tasks["shadowJar"])
        }
    }
    repositories {
        maven {
          /* ... */
        }
    }
}

The example above is written in Kotlin, if you prefer Groovy, you would need to write this instead:

build.gradle:

publishing {
  publications {
    shadow(MavenPublication) {
      from components.java
      artifact shadowJar
    }
  }
}
