Introduction

Gradm (Gradle dependencies manager) is a new way to manage dependencies easier and more efficient.

Why Gradm?

The Gradle version catalogs is an excellent move for us. But it also brings a lot of problems, and becomes more and more painful:

• The Generated code is fully Java, with very poor readability.
• No official dependencies update support.
• Terrible restrictions, like naming: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/18208, https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/18201.
• And more...?

Gradm was born for the above problems. It has an excellent ability of dependencies management and versions update:

• The Generated code is fully Kotlin and can quickly obtain dependency information through code jumps.
• Provides the same usage as the Gradle version catalog and removes naming restrictions.
• Provide dependency update support. (Will appear in Gradle build output, if updates exist.)
• Less configuration code, no need configure repositories in gradle files.
• More features are under development...
