# IWC - Intergalactic Workflow Commission [![Galaxy Workflow Linting and Tests](https://github.com/galaxyproject/iwc/actions/workflows/workflow_test.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://github.com/galaxyproject/iwc/actions/workflows/workflow_test.yml/badge.svg?branch=main) [![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/galaxyproject/iwc.svg)](https://gitter.im/galaxyproject/iwc?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge) ## The IWC maintains high-quality Galaxy Workflows Workflows are categorized in the [workflows](workflows/) directory, and listed in [Dockstore](https://dockstore.org/organizations/iwc) and [WorkflowHub](https://workflowhub.eu/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=IWC#workflows). All workflows are reviewed and tested before publication and with every new Galaxy release. Deposited workflows follow [best practices](https://planemo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/best_practices_workflows.html) and are versioned using github releases. Workflows also contain important metadata, such as: - License - Author - Institutes Additionally the IWC will collect further best practices, tips and tricks, FAQs and assist the community in designing high-quality Galaxy workflows. ## Importing Workflows into Galaxy To import IWC workflows into your Galaxy instance use the TRS workflow search in the Galaxy interface. Click on "Workflows", "Import" and click on the "search form" link. Select a TRS server from the drop-down menu and enter `organization:iwc` (for workflowhub.eu) or `organization:iwc-workflows` (for Dockstore) in the text box. ![Workflow Import GIF](static/iwc-import.gif) ## Accessing IWC workflows via usegalaxy.* servers All IWC workflows are automatically installed onto usegalaxy.* servers (i.e. [Galaxy Main](https://usegalaxy.org), [Galaxy Europe](https://usegalaxy.eu), [Galaxy Australia](https://usegalaxy.org.au)).
