This is a GitHub Actions action used for manipulating info from github context and exposing them for being consumed by subsequent steps/jobs in a workflow.
The idea behind this action is to provide a simple and standard way to define a revision name for the artifacts produced by a workflow run.
For example, if the workflow is triggered by a branch push event, the revision output parameter is set to the short SHA of the last commit being pushed, whilst if the trigger is a tagging operation the revision is set to the tag name.
The action requires no explicit inputs as it just reads the current github context.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| sha | Long commit id |
| sha_short | Short commit id (as in git rev-parse --short HEAD) |
| tag | Tag name if the workflow has been triggered by a tag |
| is_tag | Boolean set to true if tag is defined |
| revision | Equals tag if is_tag, sha_short otherwise |
| branch | Name of the current branch (if not is_tag) |
