This PR aligns the Guides > Continuous Integration > Github Actions page with the repository hosting cypress-io/github-action. It consistently uses
ubuntu-22.04as runner.The GitHub runner version
ubuntu-22.04is used as default in the README file and examples of the action repository. This default is now carried over to the corresponding documentation page here in this repository.Previously the GitHub runner
ubuntu-20.04for the corresponding LTS version, released in the year 2020, was being referred to, orubuntu-latest.ubuntu-20.04is older, so it makes more sense to useubuntu-22.04which has a longer lifetime. According to The Ubuntu lifecycle and release cadence,ubuntu-22.04will be fully supported for 5 years until April 2027.ubuntu-latestis theoretically problematic because it puts any version switch-over into the hands of GitHub Operations. In general it seems better to specify concrete major versions in examples, rather thanlatest. (The use oflatest, to select thepnpmversion to install, broke workflows unexpectedly whenpnpm 8.0.0was released this week, for instance!)
