This video shows how to convert Groovy-based Gradle scripts to Kotlin, using IntelliJ IDEA. The video walks through migrating a real multi-module application so that at the end of the tutorial the project uses Gradle's Kotlin DSL. We'll use IntelliJ IDEA's:

- Replace in Files feature with a file pattern to find code in build.gradle files that needs to be converted to Kotlin-friendly syntax
- Support for regular expressions in Replace in Files to locate patterns of Groovy code that can be converted to a Kotlin-style syntax
- Rename refactoring to change the filenames
