on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
      - master
    paths:
      - '.github/workflows/validate-ctv.yml'
      - '<TaskViewName>.md'

      image: rocker/r2u:latest
    steps:

Replace <TaskViewName> with the name of the task view. The task view should be contained in a file named TaskViewName.md in the user/TaskViewName GitHub repository.
