checkout-action

release github actions

GitHub Action for checking out a repository. (Simplified actions/checkout alternative that does not depend on Node.js.)

Usage

This action currently provides a minimal subset of the features provided by actions/checkout.

The features supported as of v1.0.0 are purely based on my use cases within public repositories, but feel free to submit an issue if you see something missing in your use case. See issues for known unsupported features.

- uses: taiki-e/checkout-action@v1

Almost equivalent to (for public repositories):

- uses: actions/checkout@v4
  with:
    persist-credentials: false

Why not actions/checkout?

As of 2024-03-08, the latest version of actions/checkout that uses node20 doesn't work on CentOS 7.

Also, in actions/* actions, each update of the Node.js used increments the major version (it is the correct behavior for compatibility although), so workflows that use it require maintenance on a regular basis. (Unless you have fully automated dependency updates.)

Compatibility

This action has been tested for GitHub-hosted runners (Ubuntu, macOS, Windows) and containers (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, Alma, openSUSE, Arch, Alpine). To use this action in self-hosted runners or in containers, at least the following tools are required:

  • bash
