# Gradle Project Initialization

This guide outlines the steps to initialize a new Gradle project using the `gradle init` command.

## Steps to Initialize a Gradle Project

1. **Create a Directory for the New Project:**

    - Create a directory where you want to initialize the Gradle project.

    - You can do this using the `mkdir` command in the terminal:

        ```bash

        mkdir java-gradle-project

        ```

2. **Change to the Project Directory:**

    - Navigate to the newly created directory:

        ```bash

        cd java-gradle-project

        ```

3. **Run the Gradle Init Command:**

    - Use the `gradle init` command to initialize a new Gradle project:

        ```bash

        gradle init

        ```

4. **Select the Project Type:**

    - The `gradle init` command will prompt you to select the type of project you want to generate.

    - There are four command-line options available:

        - basic

        - application

        - TestNG

        - Spock

        - JUnit Jupiter

    - Enter your choice. The default selection is JUnit 4.

8. **Enter the Project Name:**

    - Provide a name for your project.

    - By default, it will take the directory name as the project name.

9. **Enter the Source Package:**

    - Provide the source package for your project.

    - By default, it will take the directory name as a source package.

10. **Enter the Target Java Version Type:**

    - Specify the target Java version type for your project.

## Invoking Gradle

Once your Gradle project is initialized, you can use Gradle commands to build, test, and run your application.

- To build the project:

    ```bash

    gradle build

    ```

- To clean the project:

    ```bash

    gradle clean

    ```

- To run tests:

    ```bash

    gradle test

    ```

## IDE Integration

Gradle is integrated into popular IDEs like Android Studio, IntelliJ IDEA, Visual Studio Code, Eclipse, and NetBeans, enabling automatic invocation for building, cleaning, and running applications. Referencing the IDE manual is recommended for further understanding and configuring Gradle usage.

## Project Structure

A typical Gradle project structure includes essential files like `build.gradle` and `settings.gradle` located in the root directory. These files define the project configuration and settings.
