Whilst you're waiting for it to come back, try out AGENT-CI (which is a project I built.), which runs GitHub Actions on your machine: https://agent-ci.dev. (Open source, etc.)

No, it's not like "act," because it uses the standard Github runner, the difference is that the control plane is an emulation of api.github.com, because of this we can do all kinds of nice things:

Caching in ~0 ms. Pause on failure, so you can let your AI agent fix it and retry without pushing.

You're affiliated with the project. You should definitely be upfront about that when shilling.

		You're right, figured it was implied, but now fixed.

"Its not like act, because we can add AI"

Is what it boils down to.

I did not say that, what I said was: It's not like `act` because it's not a rewrite of the runner. It's the standard runner... So the one that actually runs GitHub Actions.

I have tried to use act many times, and many times I've failed.

P.S. pause on failure is also helpful for humans, but I'm trying to be realistic about where the future of programming is going...

I had extremely bad experience trying to setup act on my Macbook. If this is something that actually works (and doesn't steal my credentials), I'm willing to try it despite AI non-features.

		Yea, I've had only barely-success on only a few projects with act. Usually due to steps/scripts that use github-internal APIs, but afaict far from always. I like that it exists, but what a freaking mess that it's necessary and so difficult to do.

What I don’t get about this is how you run OS specific tasks (Windows, macOS, Linux)..

I started playing with proxmox VMs and containers in them (docker and tart) to see if I can build some local infrastructure to properly solve this…

		We support macOS via tartlet, but basically it's always linux. If you need windows then it's gonna be an issue. The jobs runs via containers.
