   GitHub’s official command line tool

   

   A GitHub account and basic familiarity with GitHub actions are requirements for using GitHub actions. Additionally, you will need the GitHub CLI to follow along with the hands-on demo later in this post.

4. checkout

   Action for checking out a repo

   

   The snippet above creates a step called "Checkout repository", which uses the actions/checkout action. The @ character allows you to pin the version of the action - in this case, version v4. You can see previous and future versions in the checkout releases on GitHub.
