Default Pipelines

When you add a new project on bitrise.io, we create initial Pipelines and Workflows for you.

You can use these to run your tests or create installable binaries such as IPAs or APKs. Feel free to modify the default Pipelines and Workflows to suit your needs.

Default Pipelines are created for all new iOS and Android projects. These Pipelines consist of automatically created default Workflows.

In this section:

A Bitrise Pipeline is the top level of the Bitrise CI/CD configuration. Pipelines can be used to organize the entire CI/CD process and to set up advanced configurations with multiple different tasks running parallel and/or sequentially.

A Workflow is a collection of Steps, Environment Variables, and other configurations. When Bitrise starts a build, it runs one or more Workflows according to the configuration defined in the bitrise.yml file.
