Apache Maven

Apache Maven is a build automation and project management tool used primarily for Java projects. It helps automate the build process by managing dependencies, compiling source code, running tests, and assembling a distributable package. Maven uses XML files to define project structure, dependencies, and build configuration, making it easy to manage and maintain complex projects. It also has a vast repository of plugins, making it versatile and extensible.

Git Stash refers to the practice of temporarily saving uncommitted changes in a version control workspace so that work can be paused without creating a commit. It is used in development settings to set aside work in progress, switch to another task, and later restore the saved changes for continued editing. This skill supports orderly source code management when multiple changes must be handled across active workstreams.

Gradle is a build automation tool that is used for building, testing, and deploying software projects.
