How can I deduplicate the repositories block that occurs twice in the buildScript and the allProjects block?

Put it in buildSrc as a RepositoryHandler extension

[efemoney]

// buildSrc/src/main/kotlin/file.kt

fun RepositoryHandler.configureBaseRepos() {
  google()
  kotlinEap()
  maven { ... }
}

// whatever/build.gradle(.kts)
buildscript {
  repositiories.configureBaseRepos()
}

allprojects {
  repositiories.configureBaseRepos()
}

If project script is in groovy not kotlin, you might use FileKt.configureBaseRepos(repositories) instead. Groovy has class extension mechanism too cant remember now how it works

Thanks 🙂

Yes, you can use RepositoryHandler as ExtensionAware and add a method to it. Then using it is just: repositories { myRepos() } ( both using groovy or Kotlin )
