Install Gradle Cache Directory?

Question

Is it possible to set the Gradle cache directory without setting the GRADLE_USER_HOME environment variable? I would like the Gradle cache to exist in the same workspace as my code, but it seems that this is only possible with a bash script wrapped around Gradle.

To clarify, I'm talking about the Gradle cache, which contains the allowed dependency files.

I think this may be useful for you - Appendix D. Gradle Command Line

--project-cache-dir 

Specifies the cache directory for a specific project. Default value: .gradle in the project root directory.

 --gradle-user-home 

Specifies the home directory of the Gradle user. The default value is .gradle directory in the user's home directory

Excerpt from it in action - just tested locally:
