Could something like this work/be possible to allow for more flexible project setups?

@OlaoluwaM Github Actions is super slow - we’ve prototyped with this but it’s just so painful to work with. Our tests often finish faster than it takes a GitHub Actions run to be picked up.

That said, our testers are open source so anyone is free to try to set this up! [GitHub - codecrafters-io/redis-tester](https://github.com/codecrafters-io/redis-tester)

Interesting! Thanks for the link. Is there any other documentation on how these testers work? Does it just run the `compile` and `run` bash scripts in the `.codecrafters` directory? Is that what the CLI does also?

EDIT: NVM, I think I found this is what I was looking for: [Program Interface - CodeCrafters](https://docs.codecrafters.io/challenges/program-interface)
