How to test pipelines?

Hello,

First of all I apologise if this is something trivial but it was not obvious to me from reading the documentation.

As a new user test driving drone.io, I want to know how to test my pipelines before committing them in the repository. In Jenkins for instance I can develop my pipeline code, test the steps, do of course mistakes and optimise the pipeline in general after seeing what works best and what not. How can I do the same in drone.io?
Do I really have to do multiple commits and experiment by polluting the repo…?

No. We provide a tool that allows you to run your pipeline locally from your terminal, for testing purposes http://docs.drone.io/cli-exec/
