The GitExtension enhances versioning by dynamically appending the Git hash before "snapshot" in the version string. For example, 0.0.0-SNAPSHOT becomes 0.0.0.0a2b3c4d-SNAPSHOT, ensuring each build reflects its commit origin, prevents overwriting existing versions. This feature aids developers during development by providing clear version identification.

Global gradle properties.

To authenticate with Gradle to access repositories that require authentication, you can set your user and token in the gradle.properties file.

Here's how you can do it:

Open or create the gradle.properties file in your Gradle user home directory:
- On Unix-like systems (Linux, macOS), this directory is typically ~/.gradle/.
- On Windows, this directory is typically C:\Users\<YourUsername>\.gradle\.
Add the following lines to the gradle.properties file:
```
repository.<name>.user=your_user
repository.<name>.token=your_token_value
```
or use environment variables REPOSITORY_USER and REPOSITORY_TOKEN
