gradle - exclude a module in multi-module nested project

Suppose you have a multi-module gradle project with nested structure. Eg: module A depends on B, B depends on C and so on. And you want to exclude module C from A.

So, here's how you can exclude a 'transitive' module prj-C from prj-B at Project A

build.gradle -- at Project A

dependencies {

    implementation ( project(':prj-B')){   //note the parenthesis

        exclude group: 'com.gt', module: 'prj-C'

    }

    //other dependencies

}

Bonus:

If you want to exclude a transitive dependency (not the module) you can do the following:

dependencies {

    implementation 'com.gt:libraryA'{

        exclude group: 'com.gt', name : 'libararyB'

    }

    //other dependencies

}
