# A Minimal Workflow — GitHub

Source: https://www.geekswithgeeks.com/en/github/gh-actions-workflow

> A YAML workflow that runs tests on every push.

## Where workflows live

Workflows are YAML files stored under `.github/workflows/` — GitHub picks them up automatically.

## Run tests on push

This minimal workflow checks out the code, sets up Node.js, and runs the test suite on every push.

```yaml
name: CI
on: [push]
jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: 20
      - run: npm install
      - run: npm test
```

**Quiz:** Where must GitHub Actions workflow YAML files live in a repository?

- [x] .github/workflows/
- [ ] actions/
- [ ] ci/
