Hi Everyone,

I am new to CircleCI. I am looking for the way to build and test my local branch on CircleCI directly from my machine then pushing code to GitHub it self? If that’s possible.

Not really, no - the primary trigger for a build is a code push to a remote Git server. Why do you not want to push to GitHub?
