The command "cradle install --force" is typically used to forcefully install dependencies specified in the Cradle configuration of a project.
Cradle is a build tool or dependency manager that helps developers manage dependencies in a project, ensuring that the necessary libraries and components are available for building and running the code. The "install" command in Cradle is used to download and install the dependencies specified in the project's configuration file.
The "--force" flag is an option that can be used with the "install" command. When added to the command, it overrides any existing installs of the dependencies and forcefully reinstalls them, regardless of whether they are already present in the project.
By using "cradle install --force", you ensure that all dependencies specified in the configuration file, even the ones already installed, are forcefully installed or reinstalled, effectively updating any existing versions to the latest available.
