@VahidGarousi Thanks for sharing! I'm open to changes in this template, but I want to understand a little more about what specifically we're changing. For example, this project already uses Gradle Version Catalogs.

So I think the suggestion here is specifically the Gradle Convention Plugin, which is helpful if this project were to scale up to multiple modules as we could reduce boilerplate across different modules?

@AdamMc331
Yes, you're correct! The Gradle Convention Plugin can be beneficial for this project, especially if you plan to scale up to multiple modules. It helps reduce boilerplate code across different modules by applying consistent conventions. It allows you to define common configurations and settings in one place, making it easier to manage and maintain this project as it grows. This approach enhances consistency and streamlines the development process across modules.

That makes sense! I'm not super familiar with it, if you'd like to make a PR we can discuss it more then!
