Gradle Project Version from build.gradle via Shell Bash Script

Question

I want to be able to grab the build.gradle version via a bash shell script that happens post build. How would I go about getting this?

For reference, in a Maven project, I achieve this task by using the following commmand: mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.version | grep -e '^[^\[]'. What is it's equivalent for Gradle?

Answer 1

The properties task can also do this.

./gradlew properties | grep ^version:
