" this build needs more heap space." Which heap should I increase?

[ColtonIdle]

I was greeted with this warning today. I'm a noob at this whole jvmargs/vs kotlin args/vs gradle daemon args, etc.

Where would I allocate more heap space? Do I give it to the IDE?

=============================== Gradle Doctor Prescriptions ============================================
| This build spent 76% garbage collecting.                                                             |
| If this is the first build with this Daemon, it likely means that this build needs more heap space.  |
| Otherwise, if this is happening after several builds it could indicate a memory leak.                |
| For a quick fix, restart this Gradle daemon. ./gradlew --stop                                        |

This specifically refers to only the heap space of the Gradle build daemon. There are a few ways to set it but most projects set it using the jvm args in the project's gradle.properties file. Here is an example of where this is set for the Gradle Doctor: https://github.com/runningcode/gradle-doctor/blob/master/gradle.properties#L1

Thanks for confirming!
