Local execution of GitHub actions for testing will become possible some time after pigs learn to fly. Everyone here is asking for it as if it’s some minor oversight, soon to be rectified. Unfortunately, this tech stack is a significant revenue source. Microsoft charges for pipeline minutes, concurrent runs, etc… This is especially true in Azure DevOps which shares much of same underlying pipeline software. Letting anyone run this locally for any reason would let them bypass the monetisation. It’s the same reason that ad-supported YouTube is “missing” a download offline feature. It’s not an oversight. It’s not happening. Stop asking. The only thing we the dev community can do about this is to develop our own open-source CD platform with blackjack and hookers. In other words, we need a Kubernetes of CI/CD.
