The GitHub Actions action for installing Task has graduated from its original home in the experimental `arduino/action` repository with a move to a dedicated permanent repository at `arduino/setup-task`. This move was accompanied by significant upgrades to the project infrastructure to facilitate its maintenance and quality assurance. A 1.0.0 release has been made and a `v1` ref that will track all releases in the major version 1 series. I have updated the example snippet to use this `v1 ref because this will cause the user's workflows to use stable release versions of the action while also benefiting from ongoing development to the action at each patch or minor release up until such time as a new major release is made. At this time the user will be given the opportunity to evaluate whether any changes to the workflow are required by the breaking change to the action that triggered the major release before manually updating the major ref in the workflows (e.g., `uses: arduino/setup-task@v2`).

Community
Some of the work to improve the Task ecosystem is done by the community, be it installation methods or integrations with code editor. I (the author) am thankful for everyone that helps me to improve the overall experience.
Editor Integrations
JSON Schema
@KROSF worked on a JSON Schema into this Gist, which later was made officially available by @Crandel at https://json.schemastore.org/taskfile.json. Further improvements are possible by opening pull requests changing this file. Some code editors, like Visual Studio Code, make use of Schema Store automatically.
Visual Studio Code extension
Additionally, there's also some work done by @paulvarache in making an Visual Studio Code extension, which has its code here and is published here.
Installation methods
Some installation methods are maintained by third party:
- GitHub Actions by @arduino
- AUR by @kovetskiy
- Scoop

Also, thanks for all the code contributors, financial contributors, all those who reported bugs and answered questions.
