# Setting up GitHub Actions

To set up GitHub Actions in a project, all you need to do is place a valid workflow file within the `.github/workflows` directory. Here's an example (`.github/workflows/example.yaml`), running `yamllint` when a pull request is opened.

```yaml
name: example job

on: pull_request

jobs:
  lint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: yamllint
        run: yamllint .
```
