CI/CD YAML explainer
AIPaste workflow or pipeline YAML (for example GitHub Actions or GitLab CI). You'll get a structured overview of triggers, jobs, and risks. Nothing is executed on this site—redact secrets first.
CI/CD YAML
?
Common use cases
- Onboard onto a new repo: see what a workflow file does before changing it.
- Review a PR that edits `.github/workflows`—spot risky permissions or conditions.
- Compare with the shell explainer when a step runs inline scripts.
Common mistakes to avoid
Pasting tokens or long secret values
Replace secrets with placeholders. Assume pasted text may be processed server-side when AI is enabled.
Expecting execution or validation
This tool only explains text. It does not run workflows or connect to your git host.
FAQ
Does this run my pipeline?
No. It describes the YAML you paste. Run workflows only in your CI provider.
Which CI systems are supported?
GitHub Actions and GitLab-style YAML are common; other YAML pipelines are explained when the structure is recognizable.
