# GitHub Action Local Executor
Welcome to project `gale`!
Project `gale` is a Dagger module that allows you to run GitHub Actions locally or anywhere you can run Dagger as if
they were running on GitHub.
With `gale`, you can get to enjoy a series of perks:
- **Speedy Execution**: Get your workflows running faster compared to the usual GitHub Action Workflow.
- **Cache Support**: Save time on repetitive tasks with enhanced caching features.
- **Programmable Environment**: Customize your execution environment to your liking, making it more adaptable and extensible.
**Heads up:** We are continually working to enhance `gale`. As it is in active development, you might notice changes in
commands and APIs over time. Your understanding and support are greatly appreciated!
## Before You Begin
### Things You Need
To start using `gale`, make sure your computer has these tools:
1. **Docker**: Dagger, requires [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) running on your host system.
2. **Dagger CLI**: You need to install the Dagger CLI , version >= v0.9.5, to use `gale`. [Install the Dagger CLI](https://docs.dagger.io/quickstart/729236/cli)
Once you have these tools, you are ready to install and use `gale`.
## How to Use
### Setup Dagger Module
To avoid adding `-m github.com/aweris/gale` to every command, you can add run the following command to
set `DAGGER_MODULE` environment variable:
```shell
export DAGGER_MODULE=github.com/aweris/gale
```
### Global Flags for `gale`
The following table lists the global flags available for use with the `gale` module:
| Flag | Condition | Description |
|-------------------|-------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `--repo` | Conditional | Specify the repository in 'owner/name' format. Used if `--source` is not provided. |
| `--source` | Conditional | Path to the repository source directory. Takes precedence over `--repo`. |
| `--tag` | Conditional | Tag name to check out. Takes precedence over `--branch`. Required when `--repo` is used. |
| `--branch` | Conditional | Branch name to check out. Used if `--tag` is not specified and `--repo` is used. |
| `--workflows-dir` | Optional | Path to the workflows' directory. Defaults to `.github/workflows`. |
### Listing a Workflows
To get a list of workflows, you can use the dagger call workflows list command.
Below is the help output showing the usage and options:
```shell
List returns a list of workflows and their jobs with the given options.
Usage:
dagger call list [flags]
Flags:
-h, --help help for list
```
#### Examples
List all workflows for current repository:
```shell
dagger -m github.com/aweris/gale call --source "." list
```
List workflows for a specific repository and directory:
```shell
dagger -m github.com/aweris/gale call --repo aweris/gale --branch main --workflows-dir examples/workflows list
```
### Run a Workflow
For running workflows, you'll mainly use `dagger [call|download] run [flags] [sub-command]`. Below is
the help output showing the usage and options:
```shell
Run runs the workflow with the given options.
Usage:
dagger call run [flags]
dagger call run [command]
Available Commands:
data Returns the directory containing the workflow run data.
log Returns all job run logs as a single file.
sync Returns the container for the given job id. If there is on one job in the workflow run, then job id is not required.
Flags:
--container Container Container to use for the runner(default: ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest).
--docker-host string Sets DOCKER_HOST to use for the native docker support. (default "unix:///var/run/docker.sock")
--event string Name of the event that triggered the workflow. e.g. push (default "push")
--event-file File File with the complete webhook event payload.
-h, --help help for run
--job string Name of the job to run. If empty, all jobs will be run.
--runner-debug Enables debug mode.
--token Secret GitHub token to use for authentication.
--use-dind Enables docker-in-dagger support to be able to run docker commands isolated from the host. Enabling DinD may lead to longer execution times.
--use-native-docker Enables native Docker support, allowing direct execution of Docker commands in the workflow. (default true)
--workflow string Name of the workflow to run.
--workflow-file File External workflow file to run.
```
##### Examples
Running a workflow for remote repository and downloading exporting the workflow run data and artifacts:
```shell
dagger -m github.com/aweris/gale export --repo kubernetes/minikube --branch master run --workflow build --job build_minikube --token $GITHUB_TOKEN data --output .gale/exports
```
**Notes for Above Example:**
- `--token` is optional however it is required for the workflow in this example.
