(e.g. --replace-ghe-action-with-github-com =github/super-linter) -r, --reuse don't remove container(s) on successfully completed workflow(s) to maintain state between runs --rm automatically remove container(s)/volume(s) after a workflow(s) failure -s, --secret stringArray secret to make available to actions with optional value (e.g. -s mysecret=foo or -s mysecret) --secret-file string file with list of secrets to read from (e.g. --secret-file .secrets) (default ".secrets") --use-gitignore Controls whether paths specified in .gitignore should be copied into container (default true) --use-new-action-cache Enable using the new Action Cache for storing Actions locally --userns string user namespace to use --var stringArray variable to make available to actions with optional value (e.g. --var myvar=foo or --var myvar) --var-file string file with list of vars to read from (e.g. --var-file .vars) (default ".vars") -v, --verbose verbose output --version version for act -w, --watch watch the contents of the local repo and run when files change -W, --workflows string path to workflow file(s) (default "./.github/workflows/")
