How can I get a gradient to follow the path of a curved shape?

[ScarletQueen]

I am creating curved shapes where i want to have a gradient follow the path of them. What I mean is to have the gradient go across the width of it, but to follow the curved shape that I have created. all along it, instead of using one of the presets (linear, eliptical, raidail, etc.) which don't do this. How do i accomplish this exactly?

Workaround: create an Image Brush with the wanted gradient.

Hey man not sure if it's better etiquette to create a new post or just bump this one, but thank you for this workaround.

I sort of expanded on the idea by creating a single grayscale gradient image brush and using a gradient map adjustment layer to assign the "actual" gradient that I want. This way I can just have the one brush and many stroke gradients if I want.
