    Run your GitHub Actions locally 🚀

  • 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

  • action-tmate

    Debug your GitHub Actions via SSH by using tmate to get access to the runner system itself.

  • 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.
