# Checkout V5
# Checkout v6
Checkout v5 now supports Node.js 24
## What's new
# Checkout V4
- Improved credential security: `persist-credentials` now stores credentials in a separate file under `$RUNNER_TEMP` instead of directly in `.git/config`
- No workflow changes required — `git fetch`, `git push`, etc. continue to work automatically
- Running authenticated git commands from a [Docker container action](https://docs.github.com/actions/sharing-automations/creating-actions/creating-a-docker-container-action) requires Actions Runner [v2.329.0](https://github.com/actions/runner/releases/tag/v2.329.0) or later
# Checkout v5
## What's new
- Updated to the node24 runtime
- This requires a minimum Actions Runner version of [v2.327.1](https://github.com/actions/runner/releases/tag/v2.327.1) to run.
# Checkout v4
This action checks-out your repository under `$GITHUB_WORKSPACE`, so your workflow can access it.
