Question 1

What is a CircleCI configuration file (config.yml)?

A CircleCI configuration file, usually located at `.circleci/config.yml`, defines your entire CI/CD pipeline for CircleCI. It's written in YAML and specifies executors, jobs, workflows, steps, and other settings for building, testing, and deploying your projects.

Click the "Open Local File" button to select your CircleCI `config.yml` file. Its content will be displayed as plain text. Our YAML Viewer (link to /viewer/yaml) is also suitable for this format.

Question 3

Does this tool interact with CircleCI?
