How To Add a Repository

The SDK 6 installation process asks to create a Gradle Init Script file to declare modules and plugins repositories. You may need to use additional repositories or replace the default ones, for example to fetch a module only available in your company’s repository. This page presents the different options to do that.

If you need more details on this topic, refer to the official Gradle documentation on repository declaration.

How To Add a Modules Repository

The different ways to add a modules repository are:

add a repositories block in the build.gradle.kts file of the project:
```
repositories {
  maven {
    name = "myModulesRepository"
    url = uri("https://my.company/my-modules-repository")
  }
}
```
The repositories defined here are fetched after the ones defined in the Gradle init script.

For a multi-project, the repositories must be declared in a build.gradle.kts file located in the root folder to make them available in all the subprojects.
update the Gradle Init Script to add, replace or delete a repository. The version of this script provided in the installation process is a recommended version to be applied to quickly setup an environment. However, it can be modified to adapt it to your need, especially for the list of repositories. The modules repositories are defined in the block settingsEvaluated > allprojects > repositories, and are applied to all the Gradle builds executed on the machine.

How To Add a Plugins Repository

The different ways to add a plugins repository are:

add a pluginManagement > repositories block in the settings.gradle.kts file of the project or the multi-project:

pluginManagement {
  repositories {
    maven {
      name = "myPluginsRepository"
      url = uri("https://my.company/my-plugind-repository")
    }
  }
}

The repositories defined here are fetched before the ones defines in the init script.
