.actrc reference?

[k4y4k]

ive searched the doc site for "actrc" and issues too - is there no one-page reference for what goes in an actrc?

I noticed the same thing. Here's what I know, YYMV:

Quick Answer

Contains flags from act --help

Example

$ cat .actrc
--json
--rebuild

.actrc can use the flags from the command line. For example,

~/slalom/dd/avhcloud (master)$ act --help
Run GitHub actions locally by specifying the event name (e.g. `push`) or an action name directly.

Usage:
  act [event name to run] [flags]

If no event name passed, will default to "on: push"
If actions handles only one event it will be used as default instead of "on: push"

Flags:
      --action-cache-path string                          Defines the path where the actions get cached and host workspaces created. (default "/home/rob/.cache/act")
      --action-offline-mode                               If action contents exists, it will not be fetch and pull again. If turn on this,will turn off force pull
  -a, --actor string                                      user that triggered the event (default "nektos/act")
      --artifact-server-addr string                       Defines the address to which the artifact server binds. (default "192.168.68.76")
      --artifact-server-path string                       Defines the path where the artifact server stores uploads and retrieves downloads from. If not specified the artifact server will not start.
      --artifact-server-port string

Much appreciated!

I'd still prefer better docs from the authors, but I'll mark this as the answer.
