act-local-github-actions-runner

# act Local GitHub Actions Runner act is an open-source CLI tool that runs GitHub Actions workflows locally using Docker, enabling fast feedback on workflow changes without pushing to GitHub. It is a standard tool for local Actions development and testing. ## Installation Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment: - Install Docker first. On macOS, use Docker Desktop. On Linux, install Docker Engine. - On macOS, install act with Homebrew: \`brew install act\` - git clone https://github.com/nektos/act.git - make build Requirements and caveats from upstream: - act depends on the Docker Engine API to run workflows in containers. - Jobs that do not require container isolation can be run directly on the host runner when that fits the workflow. Basic usage or getting-started notes: - Run all local workflow jobs: \`act\` - Run a specific job: \`act -j <job>\` - Source: https://github.com/nektos/act - Extracted from upstream docs: https://nektosact.com/installation/index.html ## Source - [Agent Skill Exchange](https://agentskillexchange.com/skills/act-local-github-actions-runner/)
