+### Project Keeper Verify for non-Maven Projects
+
+Maven projects use PK's Maven plugin to run PK verify during the `verify` Maven lifecycle. To run PK verify also for other projects, PK generates GitHub workflow `.github/workflows/project-keeper-verify.yml` and shell script `.github/workflows/project-keeper.sh`. Both files are only generated if there is **no** Maven module in the project root, i.e. there is no Maven source with `path: pom.xml` in `.project-keeper.yml`.
