How do you create new modules? I always copy-paste a skeleton and then manually change the packagename and add it to the settings.gradle.kts - that's lot of boilerplate - has someone a solution to this already?

Well, I think if you include any folder in the settings.gradle it will become a module, if this folder exists. But maybe you’re asking if we have a tool to do something like that?

for the

settings.gradle

I have following:

// Define dirs pattern to skip traversing
def skipDirs = ~/^(build|\..*|src|out|config)/

def preDir = {
    if (skipDirs.matcher(it.name).matches()) return FileVisitResult.SKIP_SUBTREE
}

def getProjectName(String dir) {
    return (dir - (rootDir.toString() + '/')).replaceAll('/', ':')
}

def getProjectBuildFile(String dir) {
    return ((dir - (rootDir.toString() + '/')).replaceAll('/', '-')) + '.gradle'
}

rootDir.traverse(type: FileType.DIRECTORIES, preDir: preDir) { dir->
    String dstr = dir.toString()
    if (new File(dstr + '/' + getProjectBuildFile(dstr)).exists()) {
        def projectName = getProjectName(dstr)
        <http://logger.info|logger.info>("Including module from ${dstr} with project name: ${projectName}")
        include projectName
        project(':' + projectName).buildFileName = getProjectBuildFile(dstr)
    }
}

that searches starting from the root folder and automatically adds modules.
