Unreleased

• Support checking out private repository. (#16)

  To use this action in private repositories, explicitly set token input option:

  - uses: taiki-e/checkout-action@v1
    with:
      token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
  

  Almost equivalent to:

  - uses: actions/checkout@v6
    with:
      persist-credentials: false
  

  Unlike actions/checkout (which writes credentials to disk as plaintext even when persist-credentials is set to false, when git is available), this action does not write credentials to disk even if token input option is set.

• Improve support for OpenWrt 25.12+.

1.4.2 - 2026-04-04

• Implement workaround for windows-11-arm runner bug which may causes issue that the action successfully completes but not checked out.

  We have not yet received any reports of this issue occurring with this action, but given the nature of the problem, it is possible that it could be affected.
