There are three main reasons why you’ll want to host your Bitrise config definition file with the rest of your project on a repository: When the CI config file is stored in your project’s repository it’s easier to track modifications and propose changes to your workflows.The alternative is to modify workflow configurations directly on bitrise.io with little visibility of what the changes are and difficulty to rollback problematic changes Storing your bitrise.yml in you r project’s repository opens the gate for executing workflows locally.

Bitrise is a collection of tools and services to help you with the development and automation of your software projects”.

These are the three steps you need to take in order to run and debug Bitrise’s workflows locally: In bitrise.io go to the bitrise.yml tab in the Workflow Editor section and select Store in app repository.

When you run a workflow remotely what Bitrise does under the hood is spin up a machine with bitrise cli installed and execute the same commands you can execute locally on your development machine.
