github-actions

Recipe card from the charly-coder plugin (Images — the deployable catalog).

github-actions – Act CLI for local GitHub Actions

Candy Properties

Property	Value
Install files	`charly.yml`, `task:`

Packages

RPM (from COPR goncalossilva/act): act-cli, guestfs-tools

Cross-distro coverage

rpm: (Fedora), pac: (Arch). deb: (Debian/Ubuntu) — act and actionlint are curl-downloaded GitHub release binaries (distro-agnostic already); guestfs-tools is dropped from deb (not in Debian main). The candy’s task: are format-agnostic so the per-distro divergence is minimal.

Usage

my-ci:
  candy:
    - github-actions

Used In Boxes

(none currently enabled)

/charly-distros:github-runner — distinct self-hosted runner candy (not act)
/charly-coder:docker-ce — common companion for act workflow execution
/charly-coder:dev-tools — typically paired in CI boxes

/charly-build:build — installs act-cli from COPR during image build
/charly-core:shell — run act interactively to test workflows locally

When to Use This Skill

Use when the user asks about:

Running GitHub Actions locally
The act CLI tool
The github-actions candy

/charly-image:layer — candy authoring reference (charly.yml schema, task verbs, service declarations)
/charly-check:check — declarative testing (check: block, charly check box, charly check live)
