Set Gradle Cache Directory?

Question

Is it possible to set the Gradle cache directory, without having to set the GRADLE_USER_HOME environment variable? I would like the Gradle cache to exist in the same workspace as my code, but it seems this is only possible with a bash script wrapped around Gradle.

To clarify, I'm talking about the Gradle cache that contains resolved dependency files.

I think this might be useful to you - Appendix D. Gradle Command Line

--project-cache-dir

Specifies the project-specific cache directory. Default value is .gradle in the root project directory.

--gradle-user-home

Specifies the Gradle user home directory. The default is the .gradle directory in the user's home directory

Snippet of it in action - just tested locally:
