Until he actually had to use it.

    We test our code locally, but we cannot test the workflow. By definition, testing the workflow has to be done on a CI-like system.

    There is nektos/act for running github actions locally, it works for simple cases. There still are many differences between act and github actions.

    It might be possible for a CI to define workflow steps using Containerfile/Dockerfile. Such workflows would be reproducible locally.
