Does this skill support all GitHub Actions features?

While it covers most common scenarios, certain GitHub-specific features like OIDC tokens or specific GitHub App integrations may require local workarounds.

How do I handle architecture differences on M1/M2 Macs?

This skill supports the --container-architecture linux/amd64 flag, which allows ARM-based Mac users to run workflows designed for x86 runners.

Do I need Docker to use this skill?

Yes, act requires a running Docker daemon to simulate the GitHub Actions runner environment and execute steps inside containers.

Can I test workflows that require secrets?

Absolutely. You can provide secrets using command-line flags or by creating a local .secrets file to safely test sensitive workflows.

Runs GitHub Actions workflows locally using act to debug and validate CI/CD pipelines without remote commits.

Acerca de

The GitHub Actions Local Runner skill empowers developers to execute and debug GitHub Actions workflows directly on their local machines using the act utility. By simulating the GitHub runner environment through Docker containers, it allows for rapid iteration on workflow logic, testing of secrets and environment variables, and validation of event-driven triggers. This skill is essential for developers looking to shorten their feedback loops, troubleshoot complex build failures in an isolated environment, and ensure CI/CD reliability before pushing code to production.
