The benefits are that runners can run in parallel and each job runs in an isolated environment that is recreated after each GitHub Actions job has finished.\n\n- [\ud83d\ude80 Getting Started](https://github.com/shapehq/tartelet#-getting-started)\n- [\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udd27 How does it work?](https://github.com/shapehq/tartelet#-how-does-it-work)\n- [\ud83c\udfce How is the performance?](https://github.com/shapehq/tartelet#-how-is-the-performance)\n- [\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udcbb How can I contribute?](https://github.com/shapehq/tartelet#-how-can-i-contribute)\n- [\ud83e\udd28 Why is it named Tartelet?](https://github.com/shapehq/tartelet#-why-is-it-named-tartelet)\n- [\ud83d\ude4f Acknowledgements](https://github.com/shapehq/tartelet#-acknowledgements)\n\n## \ud83d\ude80 Getting Started\n\nPlease refer to the following articles in [the wiki](https://github.com/shapehq/tartelet/wiki) to get started with Tartelet.\n\n- [Installing Tartelet](https://github.com/shapehq/tartelet/wiki/Installing-Tartelet)\n- [Configuring Tartelet](https://github.com/shapehq/tartelet/wiki/Configuring-Tartelet)\n- [Starting the Virtual Machines](https://github.com/shapehq/tartelet/wiki/Starting-the-Virtual-Machines)\n\n## \ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udd27 How does it work?\n\n![Screenshot of Tartelet running two virtual machines](screenshot.jpg)\n\nTartelet uses Tart for managing the virtual machines and Tart which in turn uses Apple\u0027s [Apple\u0027s Virtualization framework](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization). The lifecycle of a GitHub Actions runner managed by Tartelet is as follows:\n\n1. Tartelet uses Tart to clone a virtual machine.\n2. The virtual machine is booted.\n3. After the machine is booted, a setup script is being run. The script downloads the newest version of [GitHub\u0027s runner application](https://doc",
