## Steps
Every step of your workflow executes commands inside a specified container. The defined commands are executed serially.
Every step of your workflow executes commands inside a specified container.<br>
The defined steps are executed in sequence by default, if they should run in parallel you can use [`depends_on`](./20-workflow-syntax.md#depends_on).<br>
The associated commit is checked out with git to a workspace which is mounted to every step of the workflow as the working directory.

:::note
You can define a step to start immediately without dependencies by adding an empty `depends_on: []`. By setting `depends_on` on a single step all other steps will be immediately executed as well if no further dependencies are specified.
```yaml
steps:

depends_on: [] # enable parallel steps

### `volumes`
Woodpecker gives the ability to define Docker volumes in the YAML. You can use this parameter to mount files or folders on the host machine into your containers.
