Do you mean the task “check”? If so, it's a lifecycle task that is added by java-base plugin. It has no actions itself, but is a meeting point for verification tasks. So the idea is that ./gradlew check executes all of the different kinds of checks in your project. The code quality plugins make their tasks dependencies of this task.
