About starter workflows
{% data variables.product.product_name %} offers starter workflows for a variety of languages and tooling. When you set up workflows in your repository, {% data variables.product.product_name %} analyzes the code in your repository and recommends workflows based on the language and framework in your repository. For example, if you use Node.js, {% data variables.product.product_name %} will suggest a starter workflow file that installs your Node.js packages and runs your tests.{% if actions-starter-template-ui %} You can search and filter to find relevant starter workflows.{% endif %}
{% data reusables.actions.starter-workflow-categories %}
You can also create your own starter workflow to share with your organization. These starter workflows will appear alongside the {% data variables.product.product_name %}-provided starter workflows. For more information, see "Creating starter workflows for your organization."
Using starter workflows
Anyone with write permission to a repository can set up {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} starter workflows for CI/CD or other automation.

- Some starter workflows use secrets. For example, {% raw %}
${{ secrets.npm_token }}{% endraw %}. If the starter workflow uses a secret, store the value described in the secret name as a secret in your repository. For more information, see "Encrypted secrets." - Optionally, make additional changes. For example, you might want to change the value of
