Github Actions Runner

This project handles dockerizing the Github Action Runner with registration and cleanup logic.

Adding the ability for simple manual and autoscaling via Docker / Docker Swarm

A sibling project with the same approach for Bitbucket Pipeline Runners can be found at https://github.com/SamJUK/bitbucket-pipeline-runner

Based from https://testdriven.io/blog/github-actions-docker/
