I feel guilty because I’ve never installed GitLab’s CI process locally and have only run it for the past few years through git commits. I keep expecting someone to complain, but so far, so good.

I expect similar poor behavior testing GitHub’s actions because it’s so convenient to only run through the service.

It is important though that it’s possible to run without CI/cd. If it wasn’t available I would complain because of the risk of lock-in.
