# Interface VersionControlRepository

public interface VersionControlRepository
Represents the details about a particular VCS repository that contains a build that produces zero or more components that can be used during dependency resolution.

To make a repository definition useful, call the `producesModule(String)` method for each group and module name that is produced by the build in the repository. When resolving a dependency that matches the group and module name, Gradle will look for a matching version in the repository and if present will check out the source and build the binaries from that source.
