Originally created by @Makeshift on GitHub (Feb 11, 2025).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/2662

Act version

0.2.74

Feature description

As @ChristopherHX mentioned in #2390, allowing --local-repository to globally override any refs would be awesome.

Similar to in that issue, I have a single repository full of many different actions, eg

ebx/actions/action-bash-debug
ebx/actions/action-upload-s3-artifact
ebx/actions/action-app-deployer

etc.

Having to look up the current version in use by a workflow and having to write a custom ebx/actions@v1.2.3=/path/to/ebx/actions arg is a little inconvenient.

It's still an incredibly useful feature though, so I definitely appreciate it!

If you want to learn some golang and have this feature it's probably pretty simple to change this matching code here and open a PR
github.com/nektos/act@3f741df6bc/pkg/runner/local_repository_cache.go (L26-L39)

l.LocalRepositories

contains your cli arguments split by =

if dest, ok := l.LocalRepositories[fmt.Sprintf("%s@%s", url, ref)]; ok { is used to match currently duplicate such an if + body make this happen

I'm behind my plans here and not working on any feature requests right now

Learning some Go sounds like a pretty fun weekend project, actualy. I'll see if I can give it a go, thank you for the pointers!
