rhysd (the author) inactive. Any active forks?

@rhysd

I did a quick search and I haven't seen any replies from @rhysd for months.

Any active fork available?

I am actively (hopefully temporarily) maintaining a fork at kjanat/actionlint. The latest release ships build-provenance-attested binaries, a fork-owned Go module, and multi-platform images on GHCR and Docker Hub.

The current release includes the v1.8.0/v1.9.0 compatibility work and integrates or fixes the following items that remain open upstream:

concurrency.queue, including value and combination validation: Actionlint does not know about queue: key for concurrency #657 via concurrency: Add support for queue key #654
GitHub-hosted runner updates: ubuntu-26.04 (Add support for ubuntu-26.04 #682 and Add support for ubuntu-26.04 runner #683), windows-11-vs2026-arm (feat: support windows-11-vs2026-arm runner #710), Xcode 27 labels, and current macOS/Windows alias mappings
Current permission scopes: code-quality (Recognize permissions.code-quality key #672 and feat: add support for 'code-quality' permission #674), vulnerability-alerts (Support vulnerability-alerts Permission #713 and Fixes 713: Support vulnerability-alert permission #714), plus models and repository-projects
Parallel/background/wait/cancel steps: Support for parallel steps #693, with parser support from Add support for parallel steps (background, wait, wait-all, cancel, parallel) #694 and semantic validation from the stacked Add parallel-steps rule: check wait/cancel references and steps allowed inside parallel #695
uses: $/... self-repository references for actions and reusable workflows: Support the new $/ self-repository uses: syntax #711
The four job.workflow_* context properties: Four new job.workflow_* context properties #647, Add four job.workflow_* context properties (fix #647) #696, property "workflow_repository" is not defined in object type #705, and fix: add documented job workflow context properties #707
jobs.<job_id>.result in reusable-workflow outputs: result property of the jobs context throws an error #343 and Define jobs.<job_id>.result in workflow_call outputs #724
Mixed-trigger reusable-workflow secret false positives: False positive: workflow_call secrets type is applied to jobs on other triggers (e.g. workflow_dispatch) #701
merge_group.types: [destroyed]: Actionlint errors for merge_group event activity type destroyed #726
Popular-action metadata refresh: input "artifact-ids" is not defined in action "actions/download-artifact@v4" #537, actions/create-github-app-token@v3 inputs changed #648, Fix stale metadata for actions/create-github-app-token #652, Update popular_actions.go for actions/create-github-app-token@v3 #668, False-positive on actions/create-github-app-token@v3 client-id input #669, and Update the popular actions data set #718, plus newer major releases detected afterward

Installation from the fork:

go install actionlint.kjanat.dev/cmd/actionlint@latest
docker pull kjanat/actionlint:latest
docker pull ghcr.io/kjanat/actionlint:latest

Thanks for this! I use actionlint as a pre-commit, it was very helpful to get support for the latest GH runner images:

  - repo: https://github.com/kjanat/actionlint
    # (previously https://github.com/rhysd/actionlint v1.7.3)
    # Includes ShellCheck on workflow scripts
    rev: v1.10.0
    hooks:
      - id: actionlint

Incase anyone else needs or wants it I've created a minimal fork from 1.7.12 at https://github.com/katbyte/actionlint containing just three fixes - #732 ($/ self-repo), #735 (go.yaml.in/yaml/v4 rc.6) and #651 (shellcheck deadlock). It is not maintained, and is just what was required for golangci-lint and zizmor.

For a maintained fork that is moving forward definitely go with https://github.com/kjanat/actionlint - unless this repo is revived, I expect that'll be where I switch once it has a bit more history.

@rhysd

Hi, this seems the appropriate issue or thread for this.
@rhysd actionlint is such a widely used and great tool which I personally and many others use for a lot of projects.
I would just kindly request a status update about the future of this project. Although there are current forks, it would of course be preferable if support on this main repo would get picked up again. Maybe additional future maintainers that can merge PRs and create releases? Or if actionlint will be archived? Any status update would be great. I apologize if such an update already exists, if so then I have not found it.
