# GitHub Actions Runtime Upgrade Conventions

Move off an unsupported runtime without breaking the pipeline

## What this does

An action you depend on is running on a runtime that's no longer supported, and upgrading it risks breaking a pipeline that currently works. This picks the versions to move to, keeps the workflow behaving as it did, and checks it afterwards.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Upgrade my actions to a supported runtime
- Pick action versions that are safe to move to
- Check the workflow still runs after the upgrade

## About GitHub Actions Runtime Upgrade Conventions

Upgrades GitHub Actions onto supported runtimes. It selects action versions that are safe to move to and preserves the workflow's existing behaviour through the change.

After the upgrade it validates that execution still works, so the move is checked rather than taken on trust.
