Gradle kya hai? Explained in Hindi

Gradle ek powerful build automation tool hai jo software development ke liye istemal hota hai. Yeh java, C++, Python, aur bahut se anya programming languages ke projects ko build, automate, aur manage karne mein madad karta hai. Gradle ko aksar JVM (Java Virtual Machine) projects ke liye use kiya jata hai, magar yeh multi-language build automation ke liye bhi capable hai.

• 1. Declarative Builds and Build-by-Convention :
  Gradle build scripts ko likhne ke liye Groovy ya Kotlin DSL (Domain Specific Language) ka use karta hai, jisse build process ko define aur configure karna asaan hota hai.
• 2. Dependency Management :
  Gradle me dependencies ko manage karna bahut asaan hai. Yeh Maven aur Ivy repositories ke saath seamlessly integrate hota hai, jisse aap apni project dependencies ko easily manage kar sakte hain.
• 3. Incremental Builds :
  Gradle incremental builds ko support karta hai, jisse sirf wahi parts of the project rebuild hote hain jo change hue hain, isse build time significantly reduce hota hai.
• 4. Multi-Project Builds :
  Gradle bade aur complex projects ko efficiently handle kar sakta hai. Yeh multi-project builds ko support karta hai, jisme multiple sub-projects ko ek saath build aur manage kiya ja sakta hai.
• 5. Customizable and Extensible :
  Gradle highly customizable aur extensible hai. Aap apne custom tasks aur plugins bana sakte hain ya community dwara develop kiye gaye plugins use kar sakte hain.
• 6. IDE Integration :
  Gradle popular IDEs jaise IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, aur Android Studio ke saath easily integrate ho jata hai, jisse development process streamlined aur efficient hoti hai.

// build.gradle
plugins {
id 'java'
}

repositories {
mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2'
}

task hello {
doLast {
println 'Hello, Gradle!'
}
}

Is example me, `plugins` block me Java plugin apply ki gayi hai. `repositories` block me Maven Central repository specify ki gayi hai. `dependencies` block me project dependencies define ki gayi hain. Aur ek custom task `hello` define kiya gaya hai jo ek simple message print karta hai.

• Java Projects : Gradle ko aksar Java projects ke build tool ke roop me use kiya jata hai, khaskar ke Android development me.
• Continuous Integration (CI) Systems : Gradle ko Jenkins, Travis CI, aur CircleCI jaisi CI systems ke saath integrate kiya jata hai for automated builds.
• Dependency Management : Gradle projects me libraries aur dependencies ko manage karne ke liye use hota hai.
