In this \nfolder, the CLI will also create a cache folder and optionally save the config file.\n\n`cd ~/Projects \u0026\u0026 mkdir github-runners \u0026\u0026 cd github-runners`\n\nNow, inside the newly created folder, start the CLI:\n\n```bash\nnpx runner-manager\n``` \n\nor \n\n```bash\nrunner-manager\n``` \n\nif you installed globally.\n\nYou'll be presented with a menu:\n\n1. Start runners – Starts all configured runners.\n1. Quit runners – Stops all running runners.\n1. Add new runner – Guides you through setting up a new runner.\n\n### 1. Start runners\nThis will execute the `./run.sh` script in every `runner-[number]` subfolder. And this \nway, you can easily fire up multiple GitHub Action runners with a single command.\n\n### 2. Quit runners\n\u003e ⚠️ This will terminate the process and might interrupt any running jobs\n\nShut down any runners that are currently active. Make sure your runners are currently idle. \n\n### 3. Add a new runner\n\nHere is an example screenshot of the manual Github Runner install instructions:\n\n\u003cimg src=\"assets/screenshot-github-runner-settings.png\" alt=\"GitHub Runner Settings\" width=\"700\" /\u003e\n\nCopy the SHA and the Token for later use.\n\n\u003e ℹ️ The defaults are based on the, as of this time, current version.\n\u003e Feel free to send a PR when these need to be updated.\n\nThe CLI will prompt you for several inputs:\n- **Version**: GitHub Actions Runner version (default: `2.322.0`).\n- **SHA**: Checksum for the runner package.\n- **GitHub Token**: Your GitHub runner token* (required).\n- **Repo**: The repository in owner/repo format (required).\n- **Runner Name**: A custom name for the runner.\n- **Platform**: The OS this runner will be on (macOS or Linux, default: macOS).\n- **Architecture**:\n- - **For macOS**: Options are x64 or ARM64 (default: ARM64).\n- - **For Linux**: Options are x64, ARM, or ARM64 (default: x64).\n\n_* The token that is being referred to here, is the token as being shown in the screenshot above_\n\nBased on these inputs, the CLI downloads the appropriate runner tarball using the following pattern:\n\n`actions-runner-[osx/linux]-[lowercase architecture]-[version].tar.gz`\n\n## Configuration and settings defaults\n\nIf a `runners.config.json` file is present in the current directory, its values will be used as defaults. \nOtherwise, after adding a new runner is added, you'll be prompted to save the current settings as \ndefaults in a new `runners.config.json` file for future use.\n\n## Cleanup\n\nIf any command fails during runner setup, the script automatically cleans up by removing the runner folder.\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome!
