Wow, how did I not know you can use tmate in a gh action, then ssh into the runner 🤯
Soooo good for fresh/quick testing environment.

Hmm interesting technique, it is me not knowing very well tmate, but how do “await” from the remote session so you can ssh to test/eval?
You will be spending valuable compute minutes that should be for automation purposes but if that can accelerate the “development effort” of the gh action itself that usually is very trial an error, I can see the value in there.
That's it, I was running actions, testing, running again, was horrid and slow, this way I can get the action built quicker. Found it trying to make a dmg and not having macos to test on, this way I can just spin one up in seconds and tinker about
