+# Local GitHub Actions Testing Guide
+
+This guide shows you how to run your HyperCache GitHub Actions workflows locally for testing.
+
+## 🚀 **Method 1: Using `act` (Recommended)**
+
+### **Installation**
+```bash
+# macOS with Homebrew
+brew install act
+
+# Linux
+curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nektos/act/master/install.sh | sudo bash
+
+# Windows with Chocolatey
+choco install act-cli
+```
+
+### **Prerequisites**
+- Docker must be installed and running
+- GitHub Actions workflows in `.github/workflows/`
+
+### **Basic Usage**
+
+#### **List Available Workflows**
+```bash
+cd /path/to/HyperCache
+act -l
+```
+
+#### **Run Specific Jobs**
+```bash
+# Run unit tests job from ci.yml
+act -j unit-tests
+
+# Run integration tests
+act -j integration-tests
+
+# Run entire CI workflow
+act push
+
+# Run PR workflow
+act pull_request
+```
+
+#### **Run with Specific Triggers**
+```bash
+# Simulate push to main branch
+act push -e .github/workflows/test-events/push-main.json
+
+# Simulate PR event
+act pull_request -e .github/workflows/test-events/pr-event.json
+```
+
+### **Advanced Options**
+```bash
+# Run with specific platform (Ubuntu 20.04)
+act -P ubuntu-latest=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-20.04
+
+# Run with verbose output
+act -v
+
+# Run with environment variables
+act -s GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token_here
+
+# Run without pulling Docker images
+act --pull=false
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🛠️ **Method 2: Direct Script Execution (Fast Testing)**
+
+Since your workflows primarily use your test scripts, you can run them directly:
+
+### **Quick Local Testing**
+```bash
+# Navigate to project
+cd /Users/rishabhverma/Documents/HobbyProjects/Cache
+
+# Run the same commands as CI
+chmod +x tests/scripts/run_unit_tests.sh
+chmod +x tests/scripts/run_integration_tests.sh
+chmod +x scripts/validate-cuckoo-filter.sh
+
+# Unit tests (same as CI)
+./tests/scripts/run_unit_tests.sh
+
+# Integration tests (same as CI) 
+./tests/scripts/run_integration_tests.sh
+
+# Validate Cuckoo Filter FPR dynamically
+./scripts/validate-cuckoo-filter.sh --verbose
+
+# CI management script
+./scripts/ci-management.sh test-local
+./scripts/ci-management.sh validate-fpr
+```
+
+### **Simulate CI Environment**
+```bash
+# Set CI environment variables
+export CI=true
+export GITHUB_ACTIONS=true
+export GITHUB_WORKSPACE=$(pwd)
+
+# Create test-results directory (like CI)
+mkdir -p test-results
+
+# Run unit tests with coverage (like CI)
+go test ./tests/unit/... -v -race -coverprofile=test-results/coverage.out -covermode=atomic
+
+# Run Cuckoo Filter validation (like CI) 
+go test -v ./tests/unit/filter/... > test-results/cuckoo-filter-output.txt 2>&1
+
+# Extract FPR (same logic as CI)
+if grep -q "False positive rate:" test-results/cuckoo-filter-output.txt; then
+    FPR_LINE=$(grep "False positive rate:" test-results/cuckoo-filter-output.txt | head -1)
+    echo "Found FPR: $FPR_LINE"
+    
+    ACTUAL_FPR=$(echo "$FPR_LINE" | sed -E 's/.*False positive rate: ([0-9.]+).*/\1/')
+    ACTUAL_PCT=$(echo "scale=2; $ACTUAL_FPR * 100" | bc -l)
+    echo "Cuckoo Filter FPR: ${ACTUAL_PCT}%"
+fi
+
+# Build binary (like CI)
+mkdir -p bin
+go build -v -o bin/hypercache ./cmd/hypercache
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📋 **Method 3: Event Simulation Files**
+
+Create test event files to simulate different GitHub triggers:
+
+### **Create Event Files Directory**
+```bash
+mkdir -p .github/workflows/test-events
+```
+
+### **Push Event (`push-main.json`)**
+```json
+{
+  "ref": "refs/heads/main",
+  "repository": {
+    "name": "HyperCache",
+    "full_name": "rishabhverma17/HyperCache"
+  },
+  "pusher": {
+    "name": "rishabhverma17"
+  },
+  "head_commit": {
+    "message": "Test local execution"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### **Pull Request Event (`pr-event.json`)**
+```json
+{
+  "action": "opened",
+  "number": 1,
+  "pull_request": {
+    "head": {
+      "ref": "feature-branch"
+    },
+    "base": {
+      "ref": "main"
+    }
+  },
+  "repository": {
+    "name": "HyperCache", 
+    "full_name": "rishabhverma17/HyperCache"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
