Gradle equivalent of > pod search 'keyword'

I’ve just been thrown onto an android project from IOS. I want to get a lay of the land of projects using gradle.

The biggest traction I can see is with the android bootstrap project on github.

Here in the source - the developer is referencing an external mavern repo he is hosting on github to help amalgamate disparate plugins. This seems a bad approach.

Cocoapods is more streamlined. It’s updated centrally.

when I search from the command line - it’s basically trawling through thousands of specs here

This really helps save development time and effort.

how hard is it to do this with gradle?

can’t you get developers to help build this? you just need to say - validate your gradle file -

and create a pull request.

for reference - this is the most extensive repo library I’ve seen.

https://github.com/donnfelker/mvn-repo

there’s about 10 folders.

Here’s the android project that references it. https://github.com/donnfelker/android-bootstrap/tree/gradle-appcompat-wip

repositories {

maven { url ‘https://github.com/donnfelker/mvn-repo/raw/master/’ }

mavenLocal()

mavenCentral() }
