Overview
Files and Paths
Gradle Home
If Gradle was installed with Homebrew on Mac, then the Gradle home is
/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/<version>/libexec
Gradle User Home
The Gradle user home is the directory indicated by $GRADLE_USER_HOME or $USER/.gradle if the environment variable is not set.
gradle.properties
gradle.properties files can be placed either in Gradle user home directory or in the project root directory. The configuration that comes from the user home directory takes precedence over the configuration that comes from the project root directory.
