+# Github Actions
+This monorepo consists of 3 artifacts that are versioned, built, and released separately.
+- minimal-app
+- operator
+- operator/webhook
+
+## PR builds
+When a PR is opened or updated, it will determine if any files changed in each of the sub-project directories.
+If a file has changed it will trigger a build for that sub-project which runs a number of checks.
+
+## Releasing
+Release builds are triggered when code is merged to the main branch.
+It will also listen to each subdirectory and run the respective release job for each sub-project if any changes were found.
+
+To perform a new release, simply update the version for a given subproject.
+The version can be found either in a version.txt file or pom.xml file at the root of each subproject.
+New releases of the same version will never overwrite old releases.
+If the intent is to overwrite an old github release or docker image package, then the old artifact and its associated git tags should be deleted first.
+If a previous attempt at release failed, it can be re-ran by going to the github actions tab, choose the job that failed, click re-run on the top right, and either run all jobs or failed jobs.
+
+## Caching
+There is currently no caching for builds, but it could be added at a later date.
