#### Gum is a Gradle/Maven/Ant/Bach/JBang wrapper written in Go

Gum is a Gradle/Maven/Ant/Bach/JBang wrapper written in Go, inspired in <https://github.com/dougborg/gdub> and <https://github.com/srs/gw>.
Gum automatically detects if the project is Gradle, Maven, Ant, Bach, or JBang based and runs the appropriate command. However
in the case that Gum guesses wrong you can force a specific build tool to be used. Similarly as gdub, Gum lets you invoke either
Gradle, Maven, or Ant from anywhere within the project structure, not just the root directory.

**Usage**

Gum supports the following flags

* **-ga** force Ant execution
* **-gb** force Bach execution
* **-gc** displays current configuration and quits
* **-gd** displays debug information
* **-gg** force Gradle build
* **-gh** displays help information
* **-gj** force JBang execution
* **-gm** force Maven build
* **-gn** executes nearest build file
* **-gq** run gm in quiet mode
* **-gr** do not replace goals/tasks
* **-gv** displays version information

Gum will execute the build based on the root build file unless **-gn** is specified, in which case the nearest build file
will be selected. If a specific build file is given (**-b**, **--build-file** for Gradle; **-f**, **--file** for Maven,
**-f**, **-file**, **-buildfile** for Ant) then that file will be used instead.
