Describe issue

Hello,
thanks for the work so far with act, it's amazing ;)

I have an issue with this scenario:

act v0.2.55, installed w/ brew on MacOS 13.6.3 Intel
remote docker 24.0.7 engine on Ubuntu22.04

Job execution is stuck on a particular step where git tag is executed.
Looking at running processes inside the container, I see there is a pager process running, so I suspected a pagin issue for the maybe standard shell in the built container.
In fact, un-setting the pager w/ a global env var,
fixed the issue and the job executes correctly.

env:
  GIT_PAGER:

If you need more info I can collect them.
Thanks

Forgot to mention:

the offending git tag command is returning more than 18 lines
hitting CTLR-C stops act and containers as expected by #1072
already tried, without success, a similar workaround suggested in #977
by unsetting GIT_PAGER in the CLI:
```
unset GIT_PAGER
act ....
```

This issue seems similar to #995 and #1078
which I understand were closed as not resolved, am I right?

Thanks.

Current workaround:
unset GIT_PAGER in workflow, using an 'empty' global ENV var:

name: my workflow
env:
  GIT_PAGER:
