> NOTE: This Feature is only available for GitHub, Gitea & Gitlab repositories. Follow [this](https://github.com/woodpecker-ci/woodpecker/issues/131) issue to support further development.
The Multi-Pipeline feature allows the pipeline to be split into several files and placed in the `.woodpecker/` folder. Only `.yml` files will we used and files in any subfolders like `.woodpecker/sub-folder/test.yml` will be ignored. You can set some custom path like `.my-ci/pipelines/` instead of `.woodpecker/` in the [project settings](/docs/usage/project-settings).
The pipelines run in parallel on separate agents and share nothing.
Dependencies between pipelines can be set with the `depends_on` element. A pipeline doesn't execute until its dependencies did not complete successfully.
The name for a `depends_on` entry is the filename without the path, leading dots and without the file extension `.yml`. If the project config for example uses `.woodpecker/` as path for ci files with a file named `.woodpecker/.lint.yml` the corresponding `depends_on` entry would be `lint`.
