reverse-rdp-windows-github-actions
Discontinued Reverse Remote Desktop into Windows on GitHub Actions for Debugging and/or Job Introspection [GET https://api.github.com/repos/nelsonjchen/reverse-rdp-windows-github-actions: 403 - Repository access blocked]
There are a few good third-party solutions --
Run your Actions locally: https://github.com/nektos/act
SSH into your Actions with tmate: https://github.com/mxschmitt/action-tmate
I use tmate[1] to get a shell on the worker when I need to debug things interactively. Also act[2] lets you run a decent approximation of your actions locally. Still agree that it should be easier and not require third-party tools/actions, though.
