Hello everyone,
I’m excited to share wrkflw v0.7.0 with some major workflow execution improvements!
What’s wrkflw?
A Rust CLI tool for validating and executing GitHub Actions workflows locally, with support for Docker, Podman, and secure emulation modes.
Key Features in v0.7.0:
Comprehensive Secure Sandboxing
- Safe execution of untrusted workflows with command validation and filtering
- Blocks dangerous commands like rm -rf /, sudo, etc.
- Resource limits (CPU, memory, execution time)
- Filesystem access controls and process monitoring
- Recommended for local development – no container overhead required
Reusable Workflows Support
- Execute jobs that call reusable workflows (jobs.<id>.uses)
- Supports both local paths and remote repos (owner/repo/path@ref)
- Proper input/secret propagation
Multi-Path Validation
- Validate multiple workflows simultaneously across files and directories
- Auto-detects GitHub/GitLab format per file
-
Perfect for CI/CD pipelines and bulk validation
Validate multiple files/directories at once
wrkflw validate .github/workflows/ .gitlab-ci.yml other-workflows/
Auto-detects GitHub/GitLab per file
wrkflw validate path/to/github-workflow.yml .gitlab-ci.yml
Force GitLab for all files
wrkflw validate –gitlab *.yml
Enhanced TUI Help Tab
- Comprehensive documentation
- Better navigation and user experience
Runtime Modes
# Secure sandboxed execution (recommended for local dev) wrkflw run --runtime secure-emulation .github/workflows/ci.yml # Container-based execution wrkflw run --runtime podman .github/workflows/ci.yml wrkflw run --runtime docker .github/workflows/ci.yml # Legacy emulation (not recommended - no security) wrkflw run --runtime emulation .github/workflows/ci.yml Installation
cargo install wrkflw The secure sandboxing mode makes it safe to test workflows from untrusted sources locally, while reusable workflows support enables testing complex multi-workflow setups before pushing to GitHub!
