xing/act
slowing
significant_divergence
Selected Choose this fork only if you want a narrower distribution-oriented `act` and can tolerate losing upstream freshness and some bundled validation assets. If you want the most compatible, actively evolving local GitHub Actions runner, upstream is the safer default.
ChristopherHX/act
stale
significant_divergence
Prefer upstream unless you specifically need this fork's compatibility patches or host/runtime customizations. Choose the fork if your blocker is one of its added workflows or platform fixes; otherwise the upstream project is the safer default.
sobolevn/act
stale
significant_divergence
Prefer upstream `nektos/act` unless you specifically need this exact stale snapshot; this fork adds no visible value and is materially behind current upstream.
catthehacker/act-fork
stale
significant_divergence
Prefer upstream unless you specifically need a stripped-down fork to build on. This fork looks less like a maintained alternative and more like an old, heavily pruned snapshot, so it is a poor choice for adopters who want current GitHub Actions compatibility.
githubnext/act
stale
significant_divergence
Choose this fork only if you specifically need this frozen snapshot; otherwise upstream nektos/act is the better default because it is active and substantially ahead.
Cori1109/act
stale
significant_divergence
Prefer upstream for normal use. Pick this fork only if you need a frozen 2022-era `act` variant with its older compatibility patches and are willing to accept major maintenance lag.
Prefer upstream unless you specifically need a private mirror or controlled fork point; this fork does not add observable capabilities and is behind current upstream.
jenseng/act
stale
significant_divergence
Prefer upstream unless you specifically need this older snapshot or its bundled test/runtime fixtures. For normal adoption, this fork looks too stale and divergent to be a better default than `nektos/act`.
Naros/act
stale
significant_divergence
Prefer this fork only if you specifically need its added offline/remote-action workflows or its rootless fixes. For most adopters, the active upstream is the safer choice because this fork is stale and materially behind.
whitventures/act
stale
significant_divergence
Choose this fork only if offline mode, the newer action cache option, or NetBSD support are the main requirements. If you want current `act` behavior, security fixes, and ongoing compatibility work, upstream is the better default.
