Greptile Summary

This PR bumps actions/checkout from v4 (and v5 in release-plz.yml) to v6 across all four GitHub Actions workflow files, keeping the dependency consistent throughout the repository.

Key points:

  • The upgrade is safe for all ubuntu-latest (GitHub-hosted) runners, which automatically meet the minimum runner version requirement (v2.329.0) introduced by v6.
  • The most notable behavioral change in v6 is that persist-credentials now stores credentials under $RUNNER_TEMP instead of the local git config. This affects release-plz.yml, which uses persist-credentials: true alongside the release-plz/action@v0.5 Docker container action. On GitHub-hosted runners this should work without issues.
  • All four files are now consistently on v6, resolving the previous inconsistency where release-plz.yml was on v5 while the others were on v4.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
.github/workflows/build.yml Bumps actions/checkout from v4 to v6; straightforward update with no functional concerns for this simple build workflow.
.github/workflows/release-plz.yml Bumps actions/checkout from v5 to v6; uses persist-credentials: true with a Docker container action (release-plz/action@v0.5), which is subject to v6's changed credential storage behavior requiring runner v2.329.0+.
.github/workflows/rust.yml Bumps actions/checkout from v4 to v6; straightforward update with no functional concerns for this test/benchmark workflow.
.github/workflows/typos.yml Bumps actions/checkout from v4 to v6; straightforward update with no functional concerns for this typos check workflow.

P2 v6 changes credential storage for Docker container actions

actions/checkout@v6 changed how persist-credentials works: credentials are now stored under $RUNNER_TEMP instead of directly in the local git config. For Docker container action scenarios (like release-plz/action@v0.5, which is a Docker container action), this requires a minimum Actions runner version of v2.329.0 to access the persisted credentials.

Since this workflow uses ubuntu-latest (GitHub-hosted runners), the runner version requirement should be met automatically. However, it's worth being aware of this behavioral change in case any self-hosted runners are ever added in the future, or if the release action has trouble accessing git credentials after this bump.
