Checkout V4

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 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.

Recommended permissions

When using the checkout action in your GitHub Actions workflow, it is recommended to set the following GITHUB_TOKEN permissions to ensure proper functionality, unless alternative auth is provided via the token or ssh-key inputs:

permissions:

  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.
