 Here we have the start of a system to automatically generated github workflows (currently only for transforms). 
 In general, the design is to use templates and `make` to generate/update the workflows.
 
+Goals
+1. Run only tests for a given transform when only the transform changes.
+Includes python, ray, spark and kfp_ray as available.  
+2. When the core dpk lib components files changes, test all transforms
+3. When the shared kfp components changes, test a randomly selected transform test
+   (We would like to avoid running all transform kfp tests in one PR)
+4. Extra credit: If .md or other non-code changes are made, run no tests. 
+
+Assumptions:
+1. All transforms will have test workflows.  A transform can disable its tests locally
+(temporarily?) by renaming its transforms/universal/noop/Makefile.disabled.
 ```
-make
+git clone ....
+...
+git checkout -b new-branch 
+make                # Creates new test*.yml workflows
 git commit -a -s -m "update workflows"
-git push
+git push --set-upstream origin new-branch
 ```
-
 should be sufficient.

 1. Run `make` in this directory to create the new test .yml for all transforms found in transforms/{universal,code,language} directories 
 1. commit and push the change to your branch with the new transform.
