Description
The v4 checkout action requires a deprecated version of Node.js thereby triggering a warning when the workflow is run. This causes confusion for new users and unnecessary editing for those who know what the problem is.
All workflow templates should be updated to the latest v7 to eliminate this annoying problem.
