Hello! I've created a `src/main` folder inside the `buildSrc` folder... Is there a way I can access to the files inside `src/main` from the `build.gradle.kts` file?

Yes, out of the box, except for the `build.gradle.kts` file of the `buildSrc` itself.

Ok! I meant to the `build.gradle.kts` file of the `buildSrc`... So, there isn't a way to access to the `src` content from that file :thumbsdown: :cry:

<@U015Q0W2R33> The `build.gradle.kts` of the buildSrc defines how the files in buildSrc will be treated, so that's expectable.

I think you want both the egg and the chicken to be the origin.

hahaha yeah! My idea was to split the `build.gradle.kts`, and I thought I could do it this way

You can make a gradle plugin (in another project) and use it in buildSrc if that's worth the effort.

Yes, I was able to do that. And also,  I was able to define the plugin inside the `src/main` on the `buildSrc` of the same project. But I can't find the way to do the same with the dependencies...

Here is an example: <https://github.com/matiasdelbel/android-zygote-multi-modules/blob/master/buildSrc/build.gradle.kts#L22>

I want to move all the dependencies out of the build.gradle file

Where: I don't know :laughing:  Why: Some plugins versions need to be consistent with the dependencies that then I added to the modules. For example hilt: `implementation("com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin:2.28-alpha")` When a stable version of hilt is been released, I only want to change a single file

I think you'd greatly benefit from <#CP5659EL9|gradle-refresh-versions> that does exactly that and also finds the updated dependencies. I need to publish a (half breaking) release this weekend with some improvements, should I let you know when it's up?

Yes, please! Thanks... If I want to use it , must all my dependencies be on a `build.gradle.kts` ?

Specified there, I think it's preferrable. Now, the string values can be defined elsewhere, including in a gradle plugin, and the versions can be defined in another place.

Ok, thanks for the answer! And please let me know when you release a new version :slightly_smiling_face:

I set up a reminder :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi <@U015Q0W2R33>!

I spent some time updating the docs, and making a few changes this weekend, but I didn't have the time to publish a plain release yet (it requires to write the changelog and a few other things).

There's a dev version though (0.9.5-dev-003) that you can use. All the new docs for setup (including for dev versions) and usage are reachable from there: <https://github.com/jmfayard/refreshVersions/tree/378be818c3e2583582214ad41309063ebb01f0ca>

Please, let me know if you have any questions or encounter any friction point.
