    The main reason behind this change is to have consistent scripts for local testing and remote runners during testing and debugging. However, there are already tools available, such as gitlab-ci-local, that allow you to run jobs locally, partially invalidating this argument. Additionally, working locally may not provide access to all necessary variables.

    > One thing that would be nice, however, would be the ability to run the entire pipeline locally.

    This cost me many hours of waiting for the Gitlab CI runner when debugging non-trivial pipelines, when the issue was something that did not have to do with the script steps inside of the jobs but rather how the Gitlab runner handled things.

    I've found gitlab-ci-local [1] which actually does run the Gitlab pipeline locally, although I had to write some boilerplaye scripts to set up all the necessary 'CI_FOO_SOMETHING' environment variables before running the tool. (Which sometimes came back to bite me because the issue was actually in the content of some of those environment variables). It's still a very good tool.

    Most CI/CD tools let you run pipelines locally. Just one example: https://circleci.com/blog/using-runner-for-local-testing/ . In my opinion Gitlab and Circleci have the test tools for this.

    Here, it is all upto you. You want to create a repo for each blog post or a mono repo with all dev.to blog posts. You can start from scratch and add a package.json and a workflow yaml or you can use Maxime's dev.to template. The template is really helpful if you don't want to spend time setting things up. You can simply clone it and start writing. Maxime's template works for Travis CI so, we will start from scratch this time and refer to beeman's blog for github actions.
