anyone have any tips for testing actions locally, rather than workflows?

Despite the name, act is really only for the latter. You can try to test a local action by putting it in a workflow and calling that, but if you do a checkout in your workflow that will overwrite the mount of your local code into the act container, meaning you’ll get the version from the remote branch instead. Depending on the action, you may not be able to comment out the checkout step while testing.

I needed to do this recently, the only way I could find was with a proxy workflow.
