Great question!

There are many ways to do this, I’d say the most common one is probably to store the `bitrise.yml` in your repository. You can also store it in a separate repository and use that as a submodule for example in your main repo, just [make sure that the same SSH key can be used for all the repos during the build](http://devcenter.bitrise.io/faq/adding-projects-with-submodules/).

For storing the `bitrise.yml` in your repository, you can find a guide here: [http://devcenter.bitrise.io/tips-and-tricks/use-bitrise-yml-from-repository/](http://devcenter.bitrise.io/tips-and-tricks/use-bitrise-yml-from-repository/)

Right now the main disadvantage of this approach is the lack of UI editor, but that will soon change - we’re working on a complete revision of the workflow editor and it will be open source, and you will be able to run it locally on your Mac too, editing any `bitrise.yml` from your Mac directly.
