         | That's so much friction, what a nightmare! I hope this is not a

         | This reminds of how difficult it was to setup github actions
         | because you cannot run the pipeline locally, so to succeed with
         | your pipeline, you have to do trial & error with the only
         | feedback given from the Github Actions server.
