Do you keep separate settings.gradle around as not to build all the modules?

Separate Gradle projects for separate apps/libraries Combining all to a single gradle indeed, may be a huge waste of resources, tho not for build time, but for configuration time

what is a gradle project? I heard it said synomouous to module. I understand it as the "whole thing". -- If its not a single gradle project, then building on CI takes 3x the time, since each gradle build instance doesnt see that the other app's gradle uses some shared modules. Also, then you cannot force a change on all apps at once etc, .. no?

Gradle project is project which uses Gradle, one which has settings.gradle file
