+The workflow file [example-basic.yml](.github/workflows/example-basic.yml) shows how Cypress runs on GH Actions using Ubuntu (`22.04` and `24.04`), Windows, and macOS without additional OS dependencies necessary.
 
 This workflow uses the default [test type](https://on.cypress.io/choosing-testing-type) of [End-to-End (E2E) Testing](https://on.cypress.io/app/core-concepts/testing-types#What-is-E2E-Testing).
