Make a script file in root of your repository i.e., act.sh
Fyi: It is necessary to run to run act.sh file from the root of the repository.
nodemon -x 'act push --insecure-secrets' -w .github/workflows/main.yml
nodemon -x 'act schedule --insecure-secrets --secret-file=.secrets-for-act' -w .github/workflows/main.yml -w .github/cron-job.sh
# --insecure-secrets will not hide the secret values in logs
# --secret-file has a default value of `.secrets`
# Source: `act -h`
