refreshVersions is a Gradle plugin that centralizes dependency versions in a versions.properties file and automates finding and applying dependency updates. It targets multi-module Gradle projects, especially Android and Kotlin/JVM codebases, reducing the manual work of adding and upgrading dependencies.

Use cases

• find available dependency updates for my gradle project
• centralize dependency versions across a multi-module android build
• add a new dependency without googling the latest version
• migrate hardcoded gradle versions to a versions catalog
• automate dependency version bumps in versions.properties

When to choose

• you maintain a multi-module Gradle or Android project with many dependencies
• you want a single properties file as the source of truth for versions
• you want built-in dependency notations and update checks from the CLI

When to avoid

• your project does not use Gradle (e.g. Maven, npm)
• you are fully satisfied with Gradle version catalogs and Renovate/Dependabot
• you need minimal build tooling and dislike extra plugins
