Upgrade action to use node20

Node 16 has reached its end of life, prompting us to initiate its deprecation process for GitHub Actions. Our plan is to transition all actions to run on Node 20 by Spring 2024. We will actively monitor the migration's progress and gather community feedback before finalizing the transition date. Starting October 23rd, workflows containing actions running on Node 16 will display a warning to alert users about the upcoming migration.

What you need to do

For Actions maintainers

Modify your actions to run on Node 20 instead of Node 16. For guidance, refer to the Actions configuration settings .

Hi @erikburt

Please see #2340

The upgrade to Node 20 is merged to the v6 release candidate. You can use it like this:

      - uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request@v6-rc

I'll be releasing v6 at some point in the near future.

What is the status of cutting the next major version?

[peter-evans]

I'm planning to release it next week.

I was holding off as long as possible because last time I bumped Node (12 -> 16) a lot of users on GitHub Enterprise were caught out. However, it seems the runner has recently started warning that node16 as deprecated, so I think I'll go ahead with this release now.

I've now released v6. Thanks for your patience.
