Running (part of) the ci specification file locally.

By that, I mean when things like black or pytest have particular arguments, being able to use those (instead of repeatedly being the situation of "why doesn't it work?.... Oh, yeah, I need to ignore such an such a folder when I test...".

A lot of particulars are defined in the ci def file (e.g. ci.yml in github), it'd be nice to reuse these!

So I imagine doing something like this in the terminal

$ isee local PROJECT_ROOT_FOLDER

That would trigger something like:

• Extract information from ci definition file (what is extracted can be configured)
• Run some processes (parametrized by the info we extracted) locally

My guess is that this won't be too hard for a basic version.

• Specify some patterns that will match the lines that should be extracted
• Run these lines (possibly modified to refer to the right project, or after CDing to the right project so that the dot refers to the right folder) using subprocess module.
