Rename assembly-generated uberjar in SBT

Question

How to rename and move an uberjar generated with SBT assembly plugin?

addSbtPlugin("com.eed3si9n" % "sbt-assembly" % "0.14.6")

My assemblyMergeStrategy(for META-INF removal):

assemblyMergeStrategy in assembly := {
   case PathList("META-INF", xs @ _*) => MergeStrategy.discard
   case x => MergeStrategy.first
}

It generates something like :

target/scala-2.12/my-project-assembly-0.1.jar 

which I would like to able to automatically rename (and generate in another directory) with a consistent name (without the need of a separate script).

You can find a bit of documentation in project's page. There, you can find the keys you can rewrite for the assembly task.

The ones you are searching for are assemblyJarName and assemblyOutputPath. Then, your project build should look something like:

lazy val myProject = (project in file(".")).
  settings(
    ...
    assemblyJarName in assembly := "myName.jar",
    assemblyOutputPath in assembly := "...",
    ...
  )
