# GitHub Actions for Gradle builds
This repository contains a set of GitHub Actions that are useful for building Gradle projects on GitHub.
## The `setup-gradle` action
The `setup-gradle` action can be used to configure Gradle for optimal execution on any platform supported by GitHub Actions.
This replaces the previous `gradle/gradle-build-action`, which now delegates to this implementation.
The recommended way to execute any Gradle build is with the help of the [Gradle Wrapper](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html), and the examples assume that the Gradle Wrapper has been configured for the project. See [this example](docs/setup-gradle.md#build-with-a-specific-gradle-version) if your project doesn't use the Gradle Wrapper.
### Example usage
```yaml
name: Build
on: [ push ]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout sources
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Setup Java
uses: actions/setup-java@v4
with:
distribution: 'temurin'
java-version: 17
- name: Setup Gradle
uses: gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v3
- name: Build with Gradle
run: ./gradlew build
```
See the [full action documentation](docs/setup-gradle.md) for more advanced usage scenarios.
## The `dependency-submission` action
Generates and submits a dependency graph for a Gradle project, allowing GitHub to alert about reported vulnerabilities in your project dependencies.
The following workflow will generate a dependency graph for a Gradle project and submit it immediately to the repository via the
Dependency Submission API. For most projects, this default configuration should be all that you need.
Simply add this as a new workflow file to your repository (eg `.github/workflows/dependency-submission.yml`).
```yaml
name: Dependency Submission
on: [ push ]
permissions:
contents: write
jobs:
dependency-submission:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout sources
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Setup Java
uses: actions/setup-java@v4
with:
distribution: 'temurin'
java-version: 17
- name: Generate and submit dependency graph
uses: gradle/actions/dependency-submission@v3
```
See the [full action documentation](docs/dependency-submission.md) for more advanced usage scenarios.
