-## Updating dependencies
+## Contributing
+
+### Testing
+
+GitHub Actions can be executed locally using the [`act`] tool.
+
+All tests can be executed using:
+
+    act
+
+Individual tests can be executed using `-j` and `--matrix` parameters, e.g.:
+
+    act -j stable
+    act -j nightly
+    act -j examples --matrix example:http_auth_random
+
+### Updating Bazel dependencies
 
 When updating dependencies, you need to regenerate Bazel `BUILD` files to match updated `Cargo.toml`:
 
 ```sh
 bazel run //bazel/cargo:crates_vendor -- --repin all
 ```
