FAQ
Why set permissions: contents: read?
The GITHUB_TOKEN may have write access by default. A CI job that only tests needs none, and keeping it read-only limits what a malicious dependency could do with it.
What does concurrency do?
When a new commit lands on the same branch or PR, it cancels the run still in progress, saving waiting time and Actions minutes.
Will the action versions go stale?
They are pinned to the current major version, which only changes on breaking releases. Add Dependabot's github-actions config so it opens update PRs for you.
Is my input uploaded?
No. The YAML is generated entirely in your browser; no sign-in and no quota.
