Overview

The simplest way to extend Gradle is to write a custom task, which can be declared in-line in build.gradle or can be part of a different artifact.

Custom Task

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/custom_tasks.html

The simplest way of extending Gradle is write a custom task. The custom task can be declared in-line in the default build script build.gradle, as a simple task. The simple task can also be declared in-line in a separate build script, which is then included from the default build script. The code of the custom task can live in a separate source file, which in turn can be declared in a special area of the Gradle project, or can be share with other projects as part of a library. Such a task is referred to as a standalone custom task.
