8 commands

Pro Tips

Use 'gradle projects' to see the project hierarchy.

Share configuration with 'subprojects' or 'allprojects' blocks.

Use buildSrc for custom plugins shared across subprojects.

Common Mistakes

Configure projects lazily with 'configureEach' to improve build speed.

Avoid cross-project configuration - use convention plugins instead.
