From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

Instead of trying to save/restore the project build state (`&lt;project-root&gt;/.gradle` and `&lt;project-root&gt;/**/build`), I would enable the local build-cache and save/restore the local build-cache state (`~/.gradle/caches/build-cache-1`). That way you can focus on restoring the Gradle User Home but start with a clean project state.

This is the strategy implemented for GitHub Actions using <https://github.com/gradle/gradle-build-action>, and it works pretty well.
