It became a standard package-manager-friendly developer tool because it turns repository workflow files into a local Docker-backed feedback loop. ### Projektgeschichte The nektos/act repository was created in January 2019, shortly after GitHub Actions entered the broader developer-tooling conversation. Its README describes the core idea as reading workflows from .github/workflows, preparing Docker images, and running the jobs locally with filesystem and environment behavior modeled on GitHub-hosted runners. The first GitHub release, v0.0.1, was published on 2019-01-15. Later releases continued the same basic CLI shape while expanding compatibility with GitHub Actions features, runner images, secrets, variables, and workflow execution options. ### Adoptionsgeschichte act spread through CLI package ecosystems because it solved a common GitHub Actions pain point: testing workflow changes without committing and waiting for hosted CI. The supplied package-manager facts list packages in Homebrew, apk, dnf, MacPorts, Nix, pacman, Scoop, winget, and zypper. GitHub repository metadata showed more than 70,000 stars by June 2026, making act one of the highest-visibility local GitHub Actions tools in package-manager catalogs. ### Wie es verwendet wird Users typically run act from a repository to execute jobs defined under .github/workflows. The tool can read command-line options from actrc files, load secrets from a .secrets file, and use Docker to run workflow steps in local containers. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren Package maintainers care about act because it is a small CLI with a large CI surface area: it depends on Docker behavior, tracks GitHub Actions semantics, and is often used in pre-push or local validation loops. Its many package-manager entries make version freshness and reproducible installation especially visible. ### Zeitleiste - 2019-01-02: nektos/act repository created on GitHub. - 2019-01-15: v0.0.1 published as the first GitHub release. - 2026-06: GitHub API metadata showed active maintenance and broad star/fork adoption. ### Related projects - act is closely tied to GitHub Actions, Docker, GitHub-hosted runner images, and editor integrations such as GitHub Local Actions for VS Code. ### Quellen - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
