You can have a gradle.properties file in your home directory;

  • on Windows: C:\Users\<username>\.gradle\gradle.properties
  • on Mac: /Users/<username>/.gradle/gradle.properties

Create a new gradle.properties file in your home directory on each system, Windows and OSX, and add myPath property to those files. Then remove that property(myPath) from your project directory gradle.properties, so that the property is no longer managed by your version control system.

Note that the gradle.properties file in home directory will be applied to all other gradle projects. I recommend you use a project specific property name, e.g. MY_PROJECT_A_PATH=/mac
