 # Therefore to really test a change to this script, push it to your fork's master branch
 # and then create a PR against your own master branch.
 
-# You can run this locally to test changes with the act command https://nektosact.com/
-# Steps:
-# 1. Get a PAT (https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens)
-#    Use fine grained one, needs Read access to artifact metadata, and metadata
-# 2. Get the URL of some artifacts to test against from a previous run of the build
-#    script (such as your last run on your fork's master branch). It looks like:
-#    https://api.github.com/repos/jonahgraham/eclipse.platform.swt/actions/runs/19980765555/artifacts
-# 3. Run the act command:
-#    act -W '.github/workflows/junit.yml' -s GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token --input artifacts_url=your_url
