Per the Go documentation:

Each major Go release is supported until there are two newer major releases. For example, Go 1.5 was supported until the Go 1.7 release, and Go 1.6 was supported until the Go 1.8 release. We fix critical problems, including critical security problems, in supported releases as needed by issuing minor revisions (for example, Go 1.6.1, Go 1.6.2, and so on).

This action helps ensure your project is always running on a supported version of Go.

Include this Action as a step in your workflow:

- Go Supported Version
  uses: dopplerhq/go-supported-version-check-action@v1
  with:
    go-version: <your-Go-version>
    version-requirement: any-supported

You'll need to provide a couple different inputs:

go-version: The Go version being checked

version-requirement: The rule determining the version being checked is allowed

• any-supported (default): Any minor version of a supported major version
• any-latest-supported: Only the latest minor versions of a supported major version
• latest-supported: Only the latest released version

Here's an example of expected outcomes of the check when considering Go versions 1.22.0 through 1.24.1 at the point in time when 1.24.1 was the very latest version available.
