+## Testing Workflows locally
+
+[act](https://github.com/nektos/act) is a tool to run jobs within `./workflows` locally. Configuration of events can
+be stored in `./act`
+
+Install by downloading the released binaries and add them to your path.
+
+```shell
+cd <root dir of repo>
+
+act --list
+>> Stage  Job ID                       Job name                     Workflow name                                   Workflow file              Events
