Code Review Summary

✨ This pull request represents a valuable maintenance effort by updating all instances of the actions/checkout GitHub Action to v6 across multiple workflow files. This is a critical best practice that improves the security, reliability, and future compatibility of the project's CI/CD processes.

🚀 Key Improvements

  • Successfully upgraded actions/checkout to v6 in .github/workflows/build.yml, .github/workflows/commits.yml, and .github/workflows/deploy-with-fastlane.yaml.
  • Enhanced the overall security of the GitHub Actions workflows by leveraging the latest version of the checkout action, which includes important bug fixes and security updates.
  • Improved maintainability by standardizing on a single, current version of a fundamental GitHub Action across the repository.

💡 Minor Suggestions

  • Consider setting up Dependabot or a similar tool for GitHub Actions to automatically suggest updates for other actions in the future, simplifying dependency management.
  • Periodically review all third-party actions used in the workflows to ensure they are actively maintained and free from known vulnerabilities.
