# Update GitHub Actions Version Update action versions in GitHub Actions workflow files, focusing on major version changes only. ## Important Principles: Explanation of GitHub Actions Version Tagging System - Using a major version number (e.g., `v4`) automatically fetches the latest minor and patch versions. - For example, `actions/checkout@v4` will automatically get versions like `v4.2.2`, `v4.3.0`. - **Do not** update from `v4` to a specific version like `v4.2.2` — this is unnecessary. - **Only update when the major version changes** (e.g., from `v5` to `v6`). > **Note:** Skip `fatjyc/update-submodule-action@v6.0` updates as the new version is broken. ## Steps ### 0. Find Workflow Files Look for files in `.github/workflows/` recursively. Note that composite actions may be used — read both the composite action and the calling workflow simultaneously. ### 1. Check Current Versions Analyze the action versions used in the workflow files. ### 2. Query Latest Versions Query each action's latest version: ``` https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/releases/latest ``` ### 3. Identify Actions Needing Updates Only update actions where the major version has changed: - ✅ Update: `docker/build-push-action@v5` → `@v6` - ❌ Skip: `actions/checkout@v4` → `@v4.2.2` > **Note:** Skip `fatjyc/update-submodule-action@v6.0` updates as the new version is broken and v6.0 is fine. ### 4. Obtain Changelogs For actions requiring updates, retrieve changelogs to understand breaking changes. ### 5. Update Files Update version numbers and make adjustments for any breaking changes. ### 6. Commit Changes Git add and commit your changes with a clear message indicating the updates made. ## Example Illustration ### ✅ Correct Update ```yaml # From uses: docker/build-push-action@v5 # Update to uses: docker/build-push-action@v6 ``` ### ❌ Incorrect Update (Unnecessary) ```yaml # From uses: actions/checkout@v4 # Incorrectly updated to uses: actions/checkout@v4 .2 .2 ``` ### ✅ Correct Practice (Keep Unchanged) ```yaml # Keep unchanged uses :actions / checkout @ v 4 GitHub will automatically use the latest v 4.x.x release ```
