Compiling project takes 30~ mins when project on network drive

Question

As the title explains, I've just moved my project onto works network drive so if my PC blows up I don't lose the work, but when I press run Gradle takes around 30 mins to build. Is there anyway I can debug why it is taking so long to try and figure out how to speed this up?

Update: Looking at the Gradle console, it seems to be stuck on :actionbarsherlock:processReleaseResources for quite a while.

Answer 1

You should setup a small version control system (VCS), which does not need a server (like Git or Mercurial).

Keep a master repository on your network drive and a local clone on your PC. Push your changes back to the master repository often and enjoy the benefits of securing your code and managing its changes in history.

I hope this helps.
