This is where a locally hosted gitlab instance becomes very handy.

Can you do CI/CD with it?

Yes Gitlab has support for CI/CD. It's available in OSS version also. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/

Yes. We use a self-hosted GitLab instance with autoscaling runners.

Not that it's in any way official, however you can run Github Actions locally with https://github.com/nektos/act

I found this so hard to get working. Actually I didn't even get it working, I think I had some dependencies in my build that weren't in ACT or something.
