Examples

The Merlin package provides a few example workflows. These may be useful in seeing how the software works, and in designing your own workflow. This section provides documentation on running these Merlin workflow examples.

Overview

There are countless ways to write workflows using Merlin but it helps to have some examples as a starting point. This is made even easier with the merlin example command. By providing this command the name of a built-in Merlin example, it will download the folder with everything needed to run that example.

To see a list of all the built-in Merlin examples, run:

merlin example list

Each example will contain at least one .yaml file. These are known as Merlin specifications, and are foundational to determining a workflow.

The Merlin team is working on adding a more diverse array of example workflows like these.
