Gradle buildSrc for managing your dependency versions

 Gradle buildSrc is a standard approach for implementing

• custom plugins 
• tasks 
• specifying common configurations (dependency list and versions) 

but it invalidates a build cache when it is changed. 

How to use it ?

• Create a module with name buildSrc 
• Inside your build.gradle.kts 

// projectRoot/buildSrc/build.gradle.kts
	plugins {
	`kotlin-dsl`
	`java-gradle-plugin`
	}

Now create a singleton with all the constants for the dependency 

object Deps {
	const val kotlinStdLib = "..."
	}

For implementation we do as follows: 

dependencies {
	implementation(Deps.kotlinStdLib)
	}
