## FAQs
***What images are available for GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps?***
<details>
<summary><b><i>What images are available for GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps?</b></i></summary>
The availability of images for GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps is different. See documentation for more details:
- [GitHub Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/specifications-for-github-hosted-runners#supported-runners-and-hardware-resources)
- [Azure DevOps](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/hosted?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml#software)

***What image version is used in my build?*** Usually, image deployment takes 3-4 days, and documentation in the `main` branch is only updated when deployment is finished. To find out which image version and what software versions are used in a specific build, see `Set up job` (GitHub Actions) or `Initialize job` (Azure DevOps) step log.

***Looking for other Linux distributions?*** We do not plan to offer other Linux distributions. We recommend using Docker if you'd like to build using other distributions with the hosted runner images. Alternatively, you can leverage [self-hosted runners] and fully customize your VM image to your needs.

***How do I contribute to the macOS source?*** macOS source lives in this repository and is available for everyone. However, macOS image-generation CI doesn't support external contributions yet so we are not able to accept pull-requests for now.
We are in the process of preparing macOS CI to accept contributions. Until then, we appreciate your patience and ask you to continue to make tool requests by filing issues.

***How does GitHub determine what tools are installed on the images?***
For some tools, we always install the latest at the time of the deployment; for others,
we pin the tool to specific version(s). ( needs more details)
