Don't waste your precious build minutes: act, gitlab-ci-local.
I find it infuriating that they didn't design CI to run locally first and then offer a hosted version of it. These tools are not the perfect alternatives for the real thing.
That's why I use a separate branch. Use rebase or reset depending on what exactly you need to clean up when it's working.
Yeah that's me some days at work
