+Template repository for publishing an interoperable workflow based on the Python Workflow Definition. 
+
+## Content 
+The minimal workflow consists of three files:
+
+| File              | Explanation                                             |
+|-------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
+| `environment.yml` | Conda environment for software dependencies             |
+| `workflow.py`     | Python functions representing the nodes of the workflow |
+| `workflow.json`   | Workflow graph consisting of nodes and edges            |
+
+Additional optional files for the publication of the workflow: 
+
+| File                             | Explanation                              |
+|----------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
+| `README.md`                      | Readme file to introduce the workflow    |
+| `.github/workflows/pipeline.yml` | Github Actions to test the workflow      |
+
+## Publish your workflow
+You can publish your workflow in five simple steps:
+* Fork the repository and clone your fork locally.
+* Export your workflow to the Python Workflow Definition using the `python_workflow_definition` Python package, by calling the `write_workflow_json()` function.  
+* Replace the `environment.yml`, `workflow.py` and `workflow.json` in your local folder with the files for your workflow. In addition, you can add additional files if they are required and update the `README.md` to explain your workflow.
+* Commit the files locally using `git add -A` and `git commit -m "add my workflow"`
+* Push your workflow to Github `git push`
+
