Act version

nektos/v0.2.45

Feature description

When running act manually or as runner invoked through Gitea actions the workspace will end up at ~/.cache/act with no way to change this.

It would provide additional flexibility if there was a cli flag to move this directory though, e.g. to use a ram disk or some other custom location. This would be similar to how the location of the cache server can also be specified via --cache-server-path.
