gw

gw is a gdub clone written in Rust for fun. It finds the nearest gradle build file and executes it with the corresponding wrapper. Any arguments passed to gw are passed to the wrapper. If there is no gradle wrapper it tries to use gradle from $PATH. Works on Linux, MacOS and Windows.

Call gw build anywhere in your gradle project and it will call ./gradlew build in the directory of the nearest gradle build file.

without gw	with gw
./gradlew build	gw build
../gradlew build	gw build
../../gradlew build	gw build
...
gradle build	gw build
gradle -b ../build.gradle build	gw build
gradle -b ../../build.gradle build	gw build
...

Manual installation

3. Put it on your $PATH
4. Enjoy gw in your gradle projects

2. Paste following script block and hit Enter. It will always install the latest version.

   $BinPath = $HOME + "\.bin\"
   New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $BinPath
   Invoke-WebRequest https://github.com/normartin/rust-gradlew-locator/releases/latest/download/gw-windows-latest.exe -OutFile ($BinPath + "gw.exe")
   IF (($Env:PATH) -notcontains $BinPath) { [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", $env:Path + ";" + $BinPath, "User") }

3. Restart your applications to make them pick up the new $PATH.
