Possible to use action offline?

[ravensorb]

I am looking to understand if there is a way to use this action without being connected. I am using act as a locally runner and when I try to execute the metadata action I get an error about not being able to get the commit date. Shouldn't it get that from the local git log rather than reaching out to github?

This is what has me thinking its reaching out:

[Docker Build/build] [DEBUG] 💬 ::debug::Failed to get commit date from GitHub API: Not Found

Note - I have tried setting the context to "workflow" and that didn't seem to help.
