Run your [GitHub Actions](https://developer.github.com/actions/) locally! Why would you want to do this? Two reasons:
* **Fast Feedback** - Rather than having to commit/push every time you want test out the changes you are making to your `.github/workflows/` files (or for any changes to embedded GitHub actions), you can use `act` to run the actions locally. The [environment variables](https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/using-environment-variables#default-environment-variables) and [filesystem](https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/virtual-environments-for-github-hosted-runners#filesystems-on-github-hosted-runners) are all configured to match what GitHub provides.

* **Local Task Runner** - I love [make](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_(software)). However, I also hate repeating myself. With `act`, you can use the GitHub Actions defined in your `.github/workflows/` to replace your `Makefile`!

To run `act` with secrets, you can enter them interactively or supply them as environment variables. The following options are available for providing secrets:
* `act -s MY_SECRET=somevalue` - use `somevalue` as the value for `MY_SECRET`.
* `act -s MY_SECRET` - check for an environment variable named `MY_SECRET` and use it if it exists. If environment variable is not defined, prompt the user for a value.
* `act -s MY_SECRET` - check for an environment variable named `MY_SECRET` and use it if it exists. If the environment variable is not defined, prompt the user for a value.
# Configuration
You can provide default configuration flags to `act` by either creating a `./.actrc` or a `~/.actrc` file. Any flags in the files will be applied before any flags provided directly on the command line. For example, a file like below will always use the `nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04` image for the `ubuntu-latest` runner:
