Hello, I have a question regarding the *Gradle Convention Plugins for modularized structure-Shared build logic.* 
If you check these below mentioned links

2. <https://proandroiddev.com/gradle-kotlin-convention-plugins-for-modularized-structure-shared-build-logic-e740e1f07e88>
*Reference Project:* <https://github.com/android/nowinandroid>

They have mentioned a step where we need to add `includeBuild("build-logic")`  in `settings.gradle.kts` (Project Settings).
And after that we need to enable version catalog feature in `settings.gradle.kts` *(Included build:build-logic).* 

So now my question is where does this `settings.gradle.kts` (*Included build:build-logic)* comes from ? Do we need to add this file manually by doing copy and paste ?

It's this file: <https://github.com/android/nowinandroid/blob/main/build-logic/settings.gradle.kts>

As you can see, it already has the version catalog configured.

yes exactly. Where does it comes from ? Because when I try to make my build-logic as a module it doesn't come along with it.

yes that's my question. How do you create it

What did you do?

You can just create the files manually if you want.

Just added a folder and named it "build-logic". Then I went to `settings.gradle (project settings)` file and added

```includeBuild("build-logic")```
under `pluginManagement {}`

a "build" in Gradle world is a folder that contains a `settings.gradle.kts` . If you do not create that file, you can't configure the build.

that means after adding
`includeBuild("build-logic")`
We have to create our own  `settings.gradle.kts`  under build-logic folder ?
