Using gradle init command in a script

Help/Discuss
1

Hi, I’m building a bash/bat script for a niche project that uses gradle, and I want to use the gradle init command to create the project, but I want to specify the command line flags and not have any prompts.

I found the --type, --project-name, and --package flags, and these work, but I cant find a flag for the dsl type.

Also sometimes I get these prompts, which I dont want. How can I either set the options for these prompts in flags, or just ignore them.

Also open to any better methods of creating a gradle project through command line scripts.
