Task

A task represents atomic piece of work.

build.gradle.kts is known as build script.

Lifecycle tasks

They are composite of individual tasks.

• assemble produces artifacts/distro
• build: build and distribute
• build_Configuration_ task rule
• clean_Task_ task rule

A gradle build is composed of phases

• Initialization

• Configuration
  • build DAG of tasks
• Execution

this is executing from settings.gradle.kts in initialization phase

> Configure project :

registered task in? bar

> Task :bar
done lastly

afterEvaluate runs after project is configured but before it is executed. source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16070567/difference-between-gradles-terms-evaluation-and-execution
