@@ -4,8 +4,6 @@ A [Woodpecker Config Extension](https://woodpecker-ci.org/docs/usage/extensions/configuration-extension) to parse [nix](https://nixos.org/) configs.
 
 **NOTE:** This extension will evaluate nix expressions, which can do much more than simple configuration. Only run this extension if you expect trusted nix expressions only.
 
-An example workflow can be found in [.woodpecker.example.nix](.woodpecker.example.nix).

 ## Configuration
 
 Configuration can be provided via flags, environment variables (prefixed with `NIXPECKER_`), or a [nix](https://nixos.org/) config file (default: `.config.nix`, override with `--config`).
