## Auto-Generating Manifests

This workflow reacts to version increments in OpenSearch and its components by extracting Gradle properties from project branches. Currently OpenSearch `main`, and `x.y` branches are checked out one-by-one, published to local maven, and their versions extracted using `./gradlew properties`. When a new version is found, a new input manifest is added to [manifests](../../manifests), and [a pull request is opened](../../.github/workflows/manifests.yml) (e.g. [opensearch-build#491](https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-build/pull/491)).

Show information about existing manifests. 

```bash
./manifests.sh list
```

Check for updates and create any new manifests. 

```bash
./manifests.sh update
```
