New features:

  • getOctokit factory function — Available directly in the script context. Create additional authenticated Octokit clients with different tokens for multi-token workflows, GitHub App tokens, and cross-org access. See Creating additional clients with getOctokit for details and examples.
  • Orchestration ID in user-agent — The ACTIONS_ORCHESTRATION_ID environment variable is automatically appended to the user-agent string for request tracing.

Breaking changes:

  • require('@​actions/github') no longer works in scripts. The upgrade to @actions/github v9 (ESM-only) means require('@​actions/github') will fail at runtime. If you previously used patterns like const { getOctokit } = require('@​actions/github') to create secondary clients, use the new injected getOctokit function instead — it's available directly in the script context with no imports needed.
  • getOctokit is now an injected function parameter. Scripts that declare const getOctokit = ... or let getOctokit = ... will get a SyntaxError because JavaScript does not allow const/let redeclaration of function parameters. Use the injected getOctokit directly, or use var getOctokit = ... if you need to redeclare it.
  • If your script accesses other @actions/github internals beyond the standard github/octokit client, you may need to update those references for v9 compatibility.

The breaking changes should not affect our scripts. Our scripts only use:

  • The injected github.rest.issues.* client (listComments, deleteComment, createComment)
  • The injected context object (context.payload.client_payload.origin_issue, context.runId)
  • process.env.* for env-var passthrough

None of them require('@actions/github'), and none redeclare getOctokit. So none of the documented breaking changes should affect our flow.
