 # The peculiarity of this workflow is that assumes vcpkg stored as a submodule of this repository.
-# This workflow does the following:
-# - Restores vcpkg artifacts from cache.
-# - Sets up vcpkg if needed, then run CMake with CMakePreset.json using a configuration
+# The workflow runs on x86 and ARM.
+# Workflow steps:
+# - Restores vcpkg artifacts from cache, or setup vcpkg once and cache it on the GitHub cloud based cache.
+# - Runs CMake with CMakePreset.json using a presest configuration
 #   that leverages the vcpkg's toolchain file. This will automatically run vcpkg to install dependencies
 #   described by the vcpkg.json manifest file. It will be a no-op if those are restored from cache.
-# - Finally builds the sources with Ninja.
+# - Finally builds the sources with Ninja, and tests as well.

 This repository contains a `C++` based project template that leverages [vcpkg](https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg) and [CMake](https://www.cmake.org)'s [CMakePresets.json](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-presets.7.html) to build and test the source code.
 
+Supports `Linux`/`macOS`/`Windows` on `x64` and `arm64`.
+
 Advantages:
  - `CMakePresets.json` allows to run the same build either _locally on your IDE_ and on _GitHub runners_.
  - `vcpkg` greatly helps in pulling and building the needed dependencies (e.g. libraries).
