    Run your GitHub Actions locally 🚀

  • > Setting up GHA is still a lot of "commit and hope for the best". I've resorted to having a sandbox repo just for experimentation/testing so that I don't overly pollute repos that I actually care about. It would be great to get more instrumentation to see what is going on.

    There is act[0] which aims to let you run github actions locally via Docker. It isn't perfect but it does a decent job at it, and for the most part your pipeline can be run locally.

    After MS bought GH, I had hopes that they would build a tool to run action locally, but nothing yet.

  • toolkit

    The GitHub ToolKit for developing GitHub Actions.

  • Github Actions folks if you're listening, please address lack of "Allow Failure" modifier for job runs. There is a reason every other CI on the planet has this, and no, it's not the same as "Continue on Error" https://github.com/actions/toolkit/issues/399

  • SurveyJS
