About the project

A Go tool that runs GitHub Actions locally via Docker by reading workflow files from .github/workflows. Useful for fast CI feedback without commits and as a local task runner instead of a Makefile.

Useful for
  • Test workflow file changes locally before pushing to the repository
  • Run CI steps on your machine to debug a failing job
  • Use GitHub Actions as a local task runner instead of a Makefile
