# What's new
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
- Improved performance
 | 
			
		||||
  - Fetches only a single commit by default
 | 
			
		||||
- Script authenticated git commands
 | 
			
		||||
  - Auth token persisted in the local git config
 | 
			
		||||
- Supports SSH
 | 
			
		||||
- Creates a local branch
 | 
			
		||||
  - No longer detached HEAD when checking out a branch
 | 
			
		||||
- Improved layout
 | 
			
		||||
  - The input `path` is always relative to $GITHUB_WORKSPACE
 | 
			
		||||
  - Aligns better with container actions, where $GITHUB_WORKSPACE gets mapped in
 | 
			
		||||
- Fallback to REST API download
 | 
			
		||||
  - When Git 2.18 or higher is not in the PATH, the REST API will be used to download the files
 | 
			
		||||
  - When using a job container, the container's PATH is used
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Refer [here](https://github.com/actions/checkout/blob/v1/README.md) for previous versions.
 | 
			
		||||
- Updated to the node16 runtime by default
 | 
			
		||||
  - This requires a minimum [Actions Runner](https://github.com/actions/runner/releases/tag/v2.285.0) version of v2.285.0 to run, which is by default available in GHES 3.4 or later.
