I havn't heard of any products or services that test the actual CI pipelines themselves, which seems like an interesting target market. I can't say how many times I have wanted to test out some CI workflow on some throw-away clone repo without mucking up the live repo.

It's good to know that you can use includes with Gitlab, And, from my quick glance at that second link, the setup process seems a bit involved. I don't like having to set up new user accounts just so that I can run a CI workflow locally.

I've been able to use the tool without setting up any accounts or other settings. Just run `gitlab-ci-local` in a folder where your `.gitlab-ci.yaml` lies.
