Node 20 is no longer available in GitHub Actions
Node 20 has reached end of availability on GitHub Actions runners, which now use Node 24 for JavaScript actions. The temporary ACTIONS_ALLOW_USE_UNSECURE_NODE_VERSION opt-out is no longer available.
This is the final notification that Node 20 is no longer available on GitHub Actions runners. Runners now use Node 24 for JavaScript actions. The temporary ACTIONS_ALLOW_USE_UNSECURE_NODE_VERSION opt-out is no longer available.
If you maintain a JavaScript action, update its runs.using value to node24 and publish a new release as soon as possible. For details, see the metadata syntax for JavaScript actions.
If you use JavaScript actions in your workflows, update to the latest versions of those actions that support Node 24. For details, see using versions for actions.
The newest versions of all first-party actions were updated to use Node 24 as referenced in our announcement changelog.
Node 24 is incompatible with macOS 13.4 and earlier, and it doesn’t officially support ARM32. Self-hosted runners using these operating systems or architectures are no longer supported. This change applies to github.com and GitHub with Data Residency.
