Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/79

It looks like the use of .github/main.workflow is deprecated now that actions are moving to YAML. It'd be nice to support the new format as my newer repos with Actions does not create main.workflow anymore.

This could be a subset #74. act currently expects a main.workflow file to run so it's not usable by anyone who just started with Github actions and doesn't know the history. #74 seemed to be more about changing from HCL to YAML and didn't immediately strike me as related.

+1 voting for this. In all my github repos only YAML actions used.
