How do you include `Common` in the main build?

And can't you do `gw :common:base:assembleDebug` from the main build directory instead of `gw :base:assembleDebug` in the common dir?

Thanks!! I have added a custom task in main dir gradle which contains the common dir modules tasks, it’s working, may I know the reason why it doesn’t work in case if I trigger from common dir ? 

You shouldn't need a new task to do what I said, unless you are on an old Gradle version.
As to your last question, you did not share enough information to answer, you didn't even answer my question. ;-)

by pointing the project dir like below
```include ':common'
project(':common').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, './common/common')

include ':base'
project(':base').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, './common/base')

include ':widgets'
project(':widgets').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, './common/widgets')```

Agree, but in my actual scenario I need to call multiple commands, with some checks, so I have to go with either custom tasks or .sh script.

From the naming I assume you include these things into multiple builds?

Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever do that. One project should always ever be part of exactly one build. If you need it in another build, use a composite build by including the whole build.
