Triads/ Minors,dim Or What? Options

[enlo22]

So i've been trying to figure this out for a while and still can't seem to so hopefully someone here can help me
I've been trying to understand something i read which says" if you build a triad from each note of the G major scale you'll get the following diatonic chords G,Am,Bm,C,D,Em and F#dim"

so my main question was understanding how do you know if the triad/arpeggio will be minor or not because i know that in the G major scale the notes are g,a,b,c,d,e,f#... so lets say you're playing those arpeggios diatonicly down the neck how would you know which ones to make minor as in the A would be minor according to what i read and the f# would be diminished... how do you figure that out?? HELP!

1 - major
2 - minor
3 - minor
4 - major
5 - major
6 - minor
7 - diminished

In a major scale it'll always follow the pattern, if that's what you're looking for?
