SYNOPSIS

gradle init [--type type] [--dsl dsl] [options]

gradle init creates a new Gradle project with a standard directory structure. It can run interactively, prompting for project type, language, and build script DSL, or non-interactively with command-line options. Supported types include applications and libraries for Java, Kotlin, Groovy, Scala, C++, and Swift.

CAVEATS

Running in a non-empty directory may fail or skip generation if existing build files are detected. The --incubating APIs used for scaffolding new project types can change between Gradle versions.
