 name: CI
+description: |
+  This workflow builds and tests the llama.cpp project on various platforms.
+  It is triggered on push, pull request, or manually via workflow_dispatch.
+  It also creates a release when a new commit is pushed to the master branch or when manually triggered.
+  The workflow includes jobs for macOS, Linux, and Windows, with different configurations and dependencies.
+  The workflow uses concurrency to cancel in-progress jobs if a new commit is pushed to the same branch.
+  It uses ccache to speed up the build process by caching compiled files.
