Gradle Command Line

Overview

In case of a multi-project, Gradle command can be executed from the root of the project or from any sub-projects.

Some command line options have the same effect as setting corresponding properties or environment variables. When a command line option is present, it has precedence over the equivalent properties or environment variables. More details in:

Gradle Variables and Properties

Command Line Flags

-m,--dry-run

Executes a dry run: run the builds with all task actions disabled.

When executed with -i, Gradle displays the tasks that are executed, in the order in which they are executed. Additionally, -m|--dry-run can be used to simulate the execution without actually performing the task actions.
