sbitner/github-action-runner repository overview

⁠Auto-grader Image

• First, install act, via brew install act or whatever package management mechanism makes sense on your system.
• Then, pull this image docker pull sbitner/github-action-runner.
• To make running act the easiest, create an alias echo "alias act="act -P ubuntu-latest=sbitner/github-action-runner" > ~/.alias
  • If running on an M1 Mac, specifiy architecture as well, so the alias should be
    echo "alias act="act --container-architecture linux/amd64 -P ubuntu-latest=sbitner/github-action-runner" > ~/.alias
• Now, to test the GitHub Classroom grader actions for a given repo, simply run act.
