By the way, @hedgey579 are "repositories" and "dependencies" redundant because the code worked without them. https://github.com/TheCompSciNoob/BasementsandAndroids/blob/a27def1a2bfa5fb276933b70139bbbc346eea995/build.gradle#L129

:thinking:

Not entirely sure why the code would work without them, because the repositories and dependencies blocks serve different functions. Defining a repositories block like the one here

tells gradle where to get the dependencies defined under the dependencies block. I find it curious that gradle functions without the global repositories block, but my theory is that it's because we have individual repositories blocks in each of our module level build.gradle projects (see below for examples)
