Hello everyone, just started using Jenkins recently and building projects. Was wondering if theres any plugins that can take a manually created project in the UI and export it to a Jenkinsfile. Haven’t had any luck on my search so it probably doesn’t exist, but I feel like this would be a great way to help new users in writing these files.

With manually created project do you mean Freestyle projects? If yes then there is [Declarative Pipeline Migration Assistant](https://plugins.jenkins.io/declarative-pipeline-migration-assistant/)
