## Source excerpt

Gradle can be confusing and difficult to follow. When you create a new Android project they generate some Gradle files and send you off. Often, developers end up copying and pasting code from GitHub or Stack Overflow, not really understanding what's going on. This series will provide some definition of commonly seen code in Gradle builds, and act as a cheat sheet you can reference in the future.
