A daemon for running continuous integration jobs within a Forgejo instance.

Description

The Forgejo Runner is an alpha-release daemon designed to integrate with Forgejo instances for continuous integration. It facilitates the execution of jobs, streamlining the CI/CD process. The project is currently in alpha and should not be used in production environments due to security considerations. Installation and usage instructions are available in the Forgejo documentation. The runner is built upon a forked version of ACT and serves as a dependency for the setup-forgejo action. Local debugging is supported through a detailed process involving manual dependency installation and configuration of Forgejo, ACT, and the setup-forgejo action.
