# Checkout V2 beta
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This action checks-out your repository under `$GITHUB_WORKSPACE`, so your workflow can access it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
By default, the repository that triggered the workflow is checked-out, for the ref/SHA that triggered the event.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Refer [here](https://help.github.com/en/articles/events-that-trigger-workflows) to learn which commit `$GITHUB_SHA` points to for different events.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# What's new
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Improved fetch performance
 | 
						|
  - The default behavior now fetches only the SHA being checked-out
 | 
						|
- Script authenticated git commands
 | 
						|
  - Persists `with.token` in the local git config
 | 
						|
  - Enables your scripts to run authenticated git commands
 | 
						|
  - Post-job cleanup removes the token
 | 
						|
  - Coming soon: Opt out by setting `with.persist-credentials` to `false`
 | 
						|
- Creates a local branch
 | 
						|
  - No longer detached HEAD when checking out a branch
 | 
						|
  - A local branch is created with the corresponding upstream branch set
 | 
						|
- Improved layout
 | 
						|
  - `with.path` is always relative to `github.workspace`
 | 
						|
  - Aligns better with container actions, where `github.workspace` gets mapped in
 | 
						|
- Removed input `submodules`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Refer [here](https://github.com/actions/checkout/blob/v1/README.md) for previous versions.

# Usage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<!-- start usage -->
 | 
						|
```yaml
 | 
						|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2-beta
 | 
						|
  with:
 | 
						|
    # Repository name with owner. For example, actions/checkout
 | 
						|
    # Default: ${{ github.repository }}
 | 
						|
    repository: ''
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    # The branch, tag or SHA to checkout.  When checking out the repository that
 | 
						|
    # triggered a workflow, this defaults to the reference or SHA for that event.
 | 
						|
    # Otherwise, defaults to `master`.
 | 
						|
    ref: ''
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    # Access token for clone repository
 | 
						|
    # Default: ${{ github.token }}
 | 
						|
    token: ''
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    # Relative path under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE to place the repository
 | 
						|
    path: ''
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    # Whether to execute `git clean -ffdx && git reset --hard HEAD` before fetching
 | 
						|
    # Default: true
 | 
						|
    clean: ''
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    # Number of commits to fetch. 0 indicates all history.
 | 
						|
    # Default: 1
 | 
						|
    fetch-depth: ''
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    # Whether to download Git-LFS files
 | 
						|
    # Default: false
 | 
						|
    lfs: ''
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
<!-- end usage -->
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Checkout a different branch
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml
 | 
						|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2-beta
 | 
						|
  with:
 | 
						|
    ref: some-branch
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Checkout a different, private repository
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml
 | 
						|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2-beta
 | 
						|
  with:
 | 
						|
    repository: myAccount/myRepository
 | 
						|
    ref: refs/heads/master
 | 
						|
    token: ${{ secrets.GitHub_PAT }} # `GitHub_PAT` is a secret that contains your PAT
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
> - `${{ github.token }}` is scoped to the current repository, so if you want to checkout another repository that is private you will need to provide your own [PAT](https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Checkout the HEAD commit of a PR, rather than the merge commit
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml
 | 
						|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2-beta
 | 
						|
  with:
 | 
						|
    ref: ${{ github.event.after }}
 | 
						|
```
