Installation

Search for "GitHub Actions Version Checker" in the VS Code extension marketplace, or:

ext install nx10.gha-version-checker

Commands

GitHub token

The GitHub API allows 60 unauthenticated requests per hour. Adding a token raises this to 5,000 requests/hour.

Run GitHub Actions Version Checker: Set GitHub Token from the command palette and paste a personal access token. No scopes are required — create one here. Tokens are stored via VS Code's SecretStorage (OS keychain), not in your settings file.

How it works

The extension parses uses: declarations in .github/workflows/*.yml files and checks the latest release via the GitHub API. Actions pinned to:

• Major tags (e.g., v4) are compared against the latest major version
• Semver tags (e.g., v4.1.2) are compared against the latest release
• SHA commits are skipped (assumed intentionally pinned)
• Branches (e.g., main) are skipped
