Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:

Install Docker first. On macOS, use Docker Desktop. On Linux, install Docker Engine.
On macOS, install act with Homebrew: `brew install act`
git clone https://github.com/nektos/act.git
make build

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

act depends on the Docker Engine API to run workflows in containers.
Jobs that do not require container isolation can be run directly on the host runner when that fits the workflow.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:

Run all local workflow jobs: `act`
Run a specific job: `act -j
