Step 1: Clone the repository ‘https://github.com/harikrishna553/restAssured.git’.

$git clone https://github.com/harikrishna553/restAssured.git

‘restAssured’ directory structure looks like below.

$tree restAssured
restAssured
├── pom.xml
└── src
    └── main
        └── java
            └── com
                └── sample
                    └── app
                        ├── App.java
                        ├── controller
                        │   └── EmployeeController.java
                        ├── model
                        │   └── Employee.java
                        └── util
                            └── EmployeeUtil.java

9 directories, 5 files

Step 2: Navigate to the directory where pom.xml file is present and execute ‘mvn package’ command.

Once you execute ‘mvn package’ command, it generate a jar file in ‘target’ folder.
