Testing CI locally using GitLab-Runner and Helm

So I am trying to understand what’s going on in my new employe’s CI. I was able to use gitlab-runner to launch locally simple jobs like gitlab-runner exec shell simple-job. However, as I see it, all the company’s CI is executed in k8s using Helm to describe everything. I found this beatuiful how-to article about creating a Helm chart gitlab-runner. Now I see this chart in my Helm list, but I have no idea how to run locally on my machine any of jobs/pipelines.

I am currently expecting smth like gitlab-runner exec kubernetes complicated-job, but command kubernetes is not found by my gitlab-runner (maybe this is where I forgot smth?)

Thanks for taking the time read my request! :blush:
