This fork is used in deploying vSphere runners. Specifically this line https://github.com/pivotal/terraforming-vsphere-releng/blob/main/terraforming-pas/scripts/modify_github_action_runner.sh#L54.
We pinned this because the updates to the runners kept breaking. This may not be needed when the Github system is more stable.
Side note: GCP runners automatically update themselves. This is an anomaly.
The runner is the application that runs a job from a GitHub Actions workflow. It is used by GitHub Actions in the hosted virtual environments, or you can self-host the runner in your own environment.
For more information about installing and using self-hosted runners, see Adding self-hosted runners and Using self-hosted runners in a workflow
