GitHub Actions status

# Checkout V3 This action checks-out your repository under `$GITHUB_WORKSPACE`, so your workflow can access it. Only a single commit is fetched by default, for the ref/SHA that triggered the workflow. Set `fetch-depth: 0` to fetch all history for all branches and tags. Refer [here](https://help.github.com/en/articles/events-that-trigger-workflows) to learn which commit `$GITHUB_SHA` points to for different events. The auth token is persisted in the local git config. This enables your scripts to run authenticated git commands. The token is removed during post-job cleanup. Set `persist-credentials: false` to opt-out. When Git 2.18 or higher is not in your PATH, falls back to the REST API to download the files. # What's new - Updated to the node16 runtime by default - This requires a minimum [Actions Runner](https://github.com/actions/runner/releases/tag/v2.285.0) version of v2.285.0 to run, which is by default available in GHES 3.4 or later. # Usage ```yaml - uses: actions/checkout@v3 with: # Repository name with owner. For example, actions/checkout # Default: ${{ github.repository }} repository: '' # The branch, tag or SHA to checkout. When checking out the repository that # triggered a workflow, this defaults to the reference or SHA for that event. # Otherwise, uses the default branch. ref: '' # Personal access token (PAT) used to fetch the repository. The PAT is configured # with the local git config, which enables your scripts to run authenticated git # commands. The post-job step removes the PAT. # # We recommend using a service account with the least permissions necessary. Also # when generating a new PAT, select the least scopes necessary. # # [Learn more about creating and using encrypted secrets](https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/creating-and-using-encrypted-secrets) # # Default: ${{ github.token }} token: '' # SSH key used to fetch the repository.
