Gradle Repository Manager

Introduction

A Simple Command Line Tool to Add a Repository to All Gradle Files Under Working Directory

The purpose of this command line tool is to address the issue of default Gradle repositories sanctions against the country in which the user resides, resulting in Android builds failing due to limitations applied. This CLI will:

  1. Scan all subdirectories for *.gradle files.
  2. Find repository entry in the file (some of files does not include one).
  3. Add a custom repository at the start of the repositories list.

Installing

To install the Gradle Repository Manager, use the following command:

dart pub global activate gradle_repo_manager

Once the Command Line Interface (CLI) has been installed on your device, you can use it to perform various tasks.

Use Following command to show help message

repo --help

Usage

Since version 2.4.0 and higher

  • The repo-address (alias -r) option has been modified to support multiple repository addresses
  • Aliyun repositories are being used instead of IranRepo

Since version 2.0.0 and higher

use --help (-h) to see help message of cli

repo \
-d /<path/to/flutter-sdk>/.pub-cache (default: `current working directory`) \
-r <repo url (default: `https://gradle.iranrepo.ir`)> \
-v \

For version 1.0.0

by default will add

maven {url 'https://gradle.iranrepo.ir' }

if you want to use other repos use

repo <repo line i.e.: maven {url 'https://gradle.iranrepo.ir' } >

without any thing around it

Building

in linux

Executing sudo ./build.sh will build and move the executable file to /usr/bin/repo, allowing users to access it from any location using the repo command line interface (CLI).

in windows

The ./build.bat command can be used to build and copy the executable file to C:/windows/repo.exe. This has not been tested yet, but it should work. To use this for Flutter packages, navigate to the flutter sdk directory/.pub-cache/ and run the command there.

TODO

In Progress

  • Implement watch mode (--watch)
  • Refactor
  • Implement a configuration file to store repositories, patterns, and directories for easier management and customization.

Done

  • x Migrate to pub cache directory change.
  • x Remove a repository entry.
  • x Modify the default pattern of Maven repository.
  • x Add an update command that enables self-update functionality.

Ignored

  • x Change a repository to another one (can be done using omit).
