# getGradle

abstract fun getGradle(): Gradle(source)

Returns this `Gradle` instance. This method is useful in init scripts to explicitly access Gradle properties and methods. For example, using `gradle.parent` can express your intent better than using `parent`. This property also allows you to access Gradle properties from a scope where the property may be hidden, such as, for example, from a method or closure.

#### Return

this. Never returns null.
