getreadystack/actions-deprecation-lint-2026 repository overview

⁠GitHub Actions Deprecation Lint: the 2026 runner and action EOL dates

Node 20 is removed from GitHub-hosted runners on 2026-09-23 and ubuntu-22.04 deprecation opens 2026-09-17. This checks a workflow file against 25 dated GitHub shutdowns and names the date each line stops running.

⁠Run

docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/work getreadystack/actions-deprecation-lint-2026 /work/file

The same 25 rules as the VS Code extension, in a container. Mount a folder on /work.

⁠Free

• Audit the workflow file you have open against all 25 dated rules - every line, every shutdown date, no key asked.
• --rules lists every rule

⁠With a licence ($29 once)

• Scan every workflow in the repository at once, export the report, fail CI on a finding, re-check on save, and add your own rules.

docker run --rm -e READYSTACK_LICENSE=<key> -v "$PWD":/work getreadystack/actions-deprecation-lint-2026 --dir /work --ci

A freelance DevOps engineer bills about $100/hour in 2026 (goLance 2026 rate guide, range $100-165 for experienced contractors); one blocked release morning costs more than this licence.
