Gradle vs Gradle wrapper
Using the wrapper guarantees that every developer on your team is using the same version of Gradle and that they can run Gradle builds
(even if they haven’t installed Gradle on their machine).
Run gradle wrapper and you are done! You can add the --gradle-version X.Yargument to specify which version of Gradle to use.
The gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties specify the real gradle version:
cat gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.2.1-bin.zip
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
