Testing Locally:

Installation docs can be found here: https://nektosact.com/installation/, but here is A TLDR:

Installation

• Install nektos/act with CLI:
  • MacOS: brew install act.
  • Linux, you can use make install using the binaries found on github from the developer: https://github.com/nektos/act. I haven't tested this, but it seems that all you need to do is clone the repo and run make install while cd'd into the repo. Otherwise
  • Windows: probably should use chocolatey
• Install using executables found on the developer website: https://nektosact.com/installation/

Running

1. Make sure docker is up and running
2. run this for silicon MacOS: act <github_event_name> --container-architecture linux/amd64
   • you may need a different command line argument depending on chip architecture being used locally, and the OS being used.
   • if on Mac you run into a permission denied error, use sudo chmod 755 './.github/scripts/<file>'
