# Referencing source repository files
<a name="workflows-sources-reference-files"></a>

If you have files that reside in a source repository, and you need to refer to these files in one of your workflow actions, complete the following procedure.

**Note**  
See also [Referencing files in an artifact](workflows-working-artifacts-refer-files.md).

**To reference a file stored in a source repository**
+ In the action where you want to reference a file, add code similar to the following:

  ```
  Actions:
    My-action:
      Inputs:
        Sources:
          - WorkflowSource
        Configuration:
          Steps:
          - run: cd my-app && cat file1.jar
  ```

  In the previous code, the action looks in the `my-app` directory in the root of the `WorkflowSource` source repository to find and display the `file1.jar` file.
