10/23/2025, 9:43 PMIs there a gradle code search (similar to cs.android.com) ? For example... I'm just trying to find what mavenCentral() and google() actually resolve to in gradle but github search is atrocious.

10/23/2025, 9:52 PMsome extensions like https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sourcegraph/dgjhfomjieaadpoljlnidmbgkdffpack provide selectable symbols too

10/23/2025, 9:53 PMwhat you're looking for this time though, you can find in the javadocs https://docs.gradle.org/current/javadoc/constant-values.html#org.gradle.api.artifacts.ArtifactRepositoryContainer.GOOGLE_URL

10/23/2025, 10:06 PMclicking in the IDE should at least lead you to the interface, and even if the IDE doesn't index the implementation because it's private, Gradle follows some pretty typical naming conventions so it's easy to find in the GitHub tree view even without codesearch

10/23/2025, 10:06 PMalso nothing stopping you from writing
Copy code
repositories {
mavenCentral { println("mavenCentral = $url") }
google { println("google = $url") }
gradlePluginPortal { println("gradlePluginPortal = ${(this as MavenArtifactRepository).url}") }
}c

clicking in the IDE should at least lead you to the interface, and even if the IDE doesn't index the implementation because it's privateJust use a decent IDE like IntelliJ IDEA and don't use Ctrl+Click but Ctrl+Alt+Click.
