-a, --no-rebuild                   Do not rebuild project dependencies.
-b, --build-file                   Specify the build file.
--build-cache                      Enables the Gradle build cache. Gradle will try to reuse outputs from previous builds.

--configuration-cache              Enables the configuration cache. Gradle will try to reuse the build configuration from previous builds. [incubating]
--configuration-cache-problems     Configures how the configuration cache handles problems (fail or warn). Defaults to fail. [incubating]
--configure-on-demand              Configure necessary projects only. Gradle will attempt to reduce configuration time for large multi-project builds. [incubating]
--console                          Specifies which type of console output to generate. Values are 'plain', 'auto' (default), 'rich' or 'verbose'.
--continue                         Continue task execution after a task failure.
-D, --system-prop                  Set system property of the JVM (e.g. -Dmyprop=myvalue).
-d, --debug                        Log in debug mode (includes normal stacktrace).
--daemon                           Uses the Gradle Daemon to run the build. Starts the Daemon if not running.
--export-keys                      Exports the public keys used for dependency verification. [incubating]
-F, --dependency-verification      Configures the dependency verification mode (strict, lenient or off) [incubating]
--foreground                       Starts the Gradle Daemon in the foreground.
-g, --gradle-user-home             Specifies the gradle user home directory.
-I, --init-script                  Specify an initialization script.
-i, --info                         Set log level to info.
--include-build                    Include the specified build in the composite.
-M, --write-verification-metadata  Generates checksums for dependencies used in the project (comma-separated list) [incubating]
-m, --dry-run                      Run the builds with all task actions disabled.
--max-workers                      Configure the number of concurrent workers Gradle is allowed to use.
--no-build-cache                   Disables the Gradle build cache.
--no-configuration-cache           Disables the configuration cache. [incubating]
--no-configure-on-demand           Disables the use of configuration on demand. [incubating]
--no-daemon                        Do not use the Gradle daemon to run the build. Useful occasionally if you have configured Gradle to always run with the daemon by default.
--no-parallel                      Disables parallel execution to build projects.
--no-scan                          Disables the creation of a build scan. For more information about build scans, please visit https://gradle.com/build-scans.
--no-watch-fs                      Disables watching the file system.
--offline                          Execute the build without accessing network resources.
-P, --project-prop                 Set project property for the build script (e.g. -Pmyprop=myvalue).
-p, --project-dir                  Specifies the start directory for Gradle. Defaults to current directory.
--parallel                         Build projects in parallel. Gradle will attempt to determine the optimal number of executor threads to use.

--profile                          Profile build execution time and generates a report in the <build_dir>/reports/profile directory.
--project-cache-dir                Specify the project-specific cache directory. Defaults to .gradle in the root project directory.
-q, --quiet                        Log errors only.
--refresh-dependencies             Refresh the state of dependencies.
--refresh-keys                     Refresh the public keys used for dependency verification. [incubating]
--rerun-tasks                      Ignore previously cached task results.
-S, --full-stacktrace              Print out the full (very verbose) stacktrace for all exceptions.
-s, --stacktrace                   Print out the stacktrace for all exceptions.
--scan                             Creates a build scan. Gradle will emit a warning if the build scan plugin has not been applied. (https://gradle.com/build-scans)
--status                           Shows status of running and recently stopped Gradle Daemon(s).
--stop                             Stops the Gradle Daemon if it is running.
-t, --continuous                   Enables continuous build. Gradle does not exit and will re-execute tasks when task file inputs change.
--update-locks                     Perform a partial update of the dependency lock, letting passed in module notations change version. [incubating]
-v, --version                      Print version info.
-w, --warn                         Set log level to warn.

--write-locks                      Persists dependency resolution for locked configurations, ignoring existing locking information if it exists [incubating]
-x, --exclude-task                 Specify a task to be excluded from execution.
