Github Action config uses the old ubuntu-18.04

[aleksanderbl29]

Before filing a bug

• I have installed the latest dev version of {precommit} with remotes::install_github('lorenzwalthert/precommit')
• I have installed the latest hook revisions (update with precommit::autoupdate())
• I have installed the latest release of the upstream Python framework pre-comit as described under the update instructions.

Describe the bug
When running precommit::use_precommit(ci = "gha") the Github Actions config that is added to the repo is configured to the old 18.04 image of Ubuntu. In my view it should be either ubuntu-latest or ubuntu-22.04.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run precommit::use_precommit(ci = "gha").
2. Commit to github repo with Actions enabled.
3. ERROR: The action stays in a queued state because of the os-image.

Expected behavior
I expect the Github Actions to start by itself when running the steps above.

Additional context
I have tested in my own repo that it works when using ubuntu-latest and ubuntu-22.04.

• My operating system is: MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1
• My project uses {renv}.
• the output of packageVersion('renv')

packageVersion("renv")
#> [1] '1.0.7'

I have added the PR #593 for you convenience.

[lorenzwalthert]

Great, thanks. Maybe we should even default to ubuntu-latest.

[aleksanderbl29]

I agree. This eliminates the need for any maintenance on that front.

As the PR #593 has been merged with the fix, i am closing this issue.
