Trying to be the simplist possible kotlin project with building and testing.

This is my attempt to illustrate best practices witha simple application. This is not quite a template, as it will have some functioning code in it. The main goals of this are:

• Learning the languages and best practices around testing and deployment.
• Setting up as much as i could without an IDE to get a deeper learning of the inner workings of initializing a project and dependency management.
• Possibly using this as the canary in the coalmine for deployment methods.

I added .gitignore information from gitignore.io for a gradle and java project.

I created a gradle project via the command line

gradle init --type java-library

I cleared out all the java files and renamed all the java code directories to kotlin

I worked through this by following the pluralsight course here by Kevin Jones.

This is just a java library inside so the only thing that can be run are the tests, which you can do by just running:

gradle check
