-?, -h, --help          Shows this help message.
-a, --no-rebuild        Do not rebuild project dependencies.
-b, --build-file        Specifies the build file.
-C, --cache             Specifies how compiled build scripts should be cached. Possible values are: 'rebuild' and 'on'. Default value is 'on' [deprecated - Use '--rerun-tasks' or '--recompile-scripts' instead]
-c, --settings-file     Specifies the settings file.
--continue              Continues task execution after a task failure.
-D, --system-prop       Set system property of the JVM (e.g. -Dmyprop=myvalue).
-d, --debug             Log in debug mode (includes normal stacktrace).
--daemon                Uses the Gradle daemon to run the build. Starts the daemon if not running.
--foreground            Starts the Gradle daemon in the foreground. [incubating]
-g, --gradle-user-home  Specifies the gradle user home directory.
--gui                   Launches the Gradle GUI.
-I, --init-script       Specifies an initialization script.
-i, --info              Set log level to info.
-m, --dry-run           Runs the builds with all task actions disabled.
--no-color              Do not use color in the console output.
--no-daemon             Do not use the Gradle daemon to run the build.
--no-opt                Ignore any task optimization. [deprecated - Use '--rerun-tasks' instead]
--offline               The build should operate without accessing network resources.
-P, --project-prop      Set project property for the build script (e.g. -Pmyprop=myvalue).
-p, --project-dir       Specifies the start directory for Gradle. Defaults to current directory.
--parallel              Build projects in parallel. Gradle will attempt to determine the optimal number of executor threads to use. [incubating]
--parallel-threads      Build projects in parallel, using the specified number of executor threads. [incubating]
--profile               Profiles build execution time and generates a report in the <build_dir>/reports/profile directory.
--project-cache-dir     Specifies the project-specific cache directory. Defaults to .gradle in the root project directory.
-q, --quiet             Log errors only.
--recompile-scripts     Force build script recompiling.
--refresh               Refresh the state of resources of the type(s) specified. Currently only 'dependencies' is supported. [deprecated - Use '--refresh-dependencies' instead.]
