Localci cut CI feedback loops by running GitHub Actions locally with zero config
This approach shortens the CI feedback loop drastically by running jobs on the developer's local OS with the existing workflow files, enabling faster iteration and fewer CI resource minutes consumed, which improves developer velocity and reduces cloud CI costs.

Localci runs GitHub Actions workflows locally with no new config
Localci is an open-source tool that reads existing .github/workflows/ci.yml files and runs jobs whose runs-on matches the local OS on the developer's machine. It skips setup actions like checkout and leverages the local build cache, reducing CI run times from a median of 27 minutes on GitHub to about 2 minutes 16 seconds locally.
