This datasource returns a list of all runners that are hosted by GitHub. The datasource is based on GitHub's runner-images and partner-runner-images repositories.

Examples: windows-2025 / ubuntu-24.04 / macos-15.

Maintenance

Adding a new version

New runner versions must be added to the datasource with a pull request.

Unstable runners

Unstable runners are tagged as [beta] in the runner-images repository's readme and should get the isStable:false property in our code.

Promoting a version to stable

Once a runner version becomes stable, the [beta] tag is removed and the suffix latest is added to its YAML label. We then remove the isStable:false property in our code.

Deprecating a version

Deprecated runners are tagged as [deprecated] in the runner-images repository's readme and we should give it the isDeprecated:true property. If a runner is very old, the readme may drop it completely, but we should still give it the isDeprecated:true property.
