Hello everyone,

I’ve created some simple utility workflows that I’d like to run in multiple workflows (primary, deploy, etc.).

I tried using `Bitrise run` step, however it requires the path to `bitrise.yml` which I don’t know.

Any tips how to do that?  
Thanks!

You can download it from [bitrise.io](http://bitrise.io) (bitrise.yml tab).

I’m missing the next step after I download it, could you expand on it?

Why am I supposed to download it if there is a fully-fledged online workflow editor?

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood your intent.

If you just want to run the utility workflow in project where it is defined you can use `Workflow before` or `Add workflow after` buttons in editor.

If you want to run it as a part of its integration tests you need some `bitrise.yml` file and `Bitrise run` step. However you cannot run utility workflow alone, there has to be at least one regular workflow.

Okay, that helps. Most workflows start with

- Activate SSH key
- Git clone
- Cache pull
- Flutter install

and end with

- Bitrise deploy
- Cache push

This means that I get some composability with utility workflows and your recommendation.

Right! Well, I guess I’ll go with the first approach. Thanks! How do I go about marking your replay as answer? 🙂 Or is there some way to mark this discussion as resolved?

AFAIK in this category you can only use heart button to like the post.
