I don't think that's accurate, the post is from seven years ago. Additionally there are a lot of materials online that indicate your still can - https://virtualizare.net/devops/how-to-run-gitlab-runner-locally-best-practices.html
I think there is a misunderstanding, what running locally means.
You can run a gitlab runner on your local machine, but it needs to pulls it's jobs from git. It also requires gitlab to register your runner, so it can't really work for new contributors to use themselves.
Ahh, I see what you mean.
At that point I feel like you may as well just use makefiles. Did that at an old company, it had params for local deployment testing vs CICD. This also let's you define how you break the local deployment tests, as usually you can't really fully test a CICD locally.
