A guide to using act with GitHub Actions

1. act

   1 160 63,789 9.0 Go

   Run your GitHub Actions locally 🚀

   

   The act project is a powerful tool that you can use with GitHub Actions to quickly test and refine a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. With act, you can use Docker containers locally to directly run steps in GitHub Actions. act helps developers run independent stages in a pipeline, and it generally improves the feedback loop whenever you’re building pipelines with GitHub Actions.

3. getting-started-with-act

   2 1 4 10.0 TypeScript

   

   As I stated in the intro, I used a sample project with Act to test out some of the features. The project is a very simple, basic to-do list app with React. I included one test that I could create a stage in the pipeline for, and I also included a stage to deploy to Netlify.

4. cache
