Why:

Closes: N/A

The current documentation hardcodes actions/checkout@v4, while the latest version is v5. This can lead to inconsistencies and outdated references in the docs.

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

This PR updates the example workflow to replace a hardcoded action version with a reusable reference.

@AeternalNull I think this is fine since you're using a variable that the example is using. I just added in a missing "the," and once these checks pass I'll get it merged.
