+== Common Workflow
+
+Within the `{gitlab-ci-file}` file we provide a common workflow.
+This workflow runs all pipelines (including branch pipelines, tag pipelines, merge request pipelines, triggerd pipelines, shedules-pipelines ...).
+However, it prevents that a branch pipeline starts, when there is an open merge request.
+To use our common workflow, just import the template.
