[Android] Gradle: Get or Change build output directory from terminal? (lemmy.world)

For a script I'm making, I'm looking for a way to either get the build output directory Gradle uses, or change it to something different.

I'm aware you could edit one of the gradle files in a project, but my script requires not altering the android app project (It only uses gradlew / gradle.bat that comes with it to build)

Is there some way to change gradle's build output directory, or if not, a way to get it from the command line?

I can’t remember fully right now but you should be able to just set it at the command line. https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html#setting_a_project_property

why do you want this?

and does the build need to happen elswhere? otherwise you could read the target directory from the build file and move the stuff afterwards.
