Naming Workflows
If you're looking to add clarity and organization to your CircleCI configurations, naming your workflows can significantly improve readability. This article will guide you on how to properly assign names to your workflows in your CircleCI configuration file (`.circleci/config.yml`), ensuring that you maintain an easily navigable CI/CD setup.
Assigning Meaningful Names to Workflows
Syntax for Naming Workflows
To give a name to a workflow, use the following syntax in your .circleci/config.yml
file:
yaml
workflows:
your_workflow_name: # This is where you name your workflow
jobs:
- job1
- job2
In this structure, replace your_workflow_name
with your desired name for the workflow. Ensure that the name follows proper YAML syntax rules to avoid parsing errors.
Example Configuration
Here's a more concrete example from CircleCI documentation to illustrate this:
yaml
workflows:
build_test_deploy: # this can be any name you choose
jobs:
- build_and_test
- deploy:
requires:
- build_and_test
filters:
branches:
only: main
