要处理pull_request事件(在这种情况下，$GITHUB_REF包含一些无用的东西，如refs/pull/519/merge)，你可以使用这一行:

   - name: Set branch name
     run: echo "::set-output name=branch_name::$(echo ${GITHUB_HEAD_REF:-${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/}})"

我只是在GitHub Actions中使用bash脚本做了一个简单的测试:

#!/bin/bash

echo Reserved for REPO_NAME=${GITHUB_REPOSITORY##*/}
echo GITHUB_REF=${GITHUB_REF}
echo EXTRACT_GITHUB_REF=${GITHUB_REF##*/}
echo EXTRACT_GITHUB_REF_HEADS=$(echo ${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/})

cd $REPO_NAME
git checkout ${GITHUB_REF##*/}
git checkout $(echo ${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/})

以下是输出的截图:

因此${GITHUB_REF##*/}和$(echo ${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/})都是正确的

你可以使用https://github.com/rlespinasse/github-slug-action

# Just add this  => 
- name: Inject slug/short variables
  uses: rlespinasse/github-slug-action@v3.x



# And you get this  => 
- name: Print slug/short variables
  run: |
    echo "Slug variables"
    echo " - ${{ env.GITHUB_REF_SLUG }}"    
    echo " - ${{ env.GITHUB_HEAD_REF_SLUG }}"
    echo " - ${{ env.GITHUB_BASE_REF_SLUG }}"
    echo " - ${{ env.GITHUB_REPOSITORY_SLUG }}"
    # output e.g. : master feat-new-feature v1.0.0 product-1.0.0-rc.2 new-awesome-product
    echo "Slug URL variables"
    echo " - ${{ env.GITHUB_REF_SLUG_URL }}"
    echo " - ${{ env.GITHUB_HEAD_REF_SLUG_URL }}"
    echo " - ${{ env.GITHUB_BASE_REF_SLUG_URL }}"
    echo " - ${{ env.GITHUB_REPOSITORY_SLUG_URL }}"
    # output e.g. : master feat-new-feature v1-0-0 product-1-0-0-rc-2 new-awesome-product
    echo "Short SHA variables"
    echo " - ${{ env.GITHUB_SHA_SHORT }}"
    # output e.g. : ffac537e

更新

GitHub现在支持GITHUB_REF_NAME，它代表触发工作流运行的分支或标记名称。

GitHub文档在这个https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/environment-variables#default-environment-variables上

GitHub Action FranzDiebold/ GitHub -env- vals - Action公开了几个有用的环境变量，例如当前分支名称及其slug值。我为这个用例做了这个操作。

使用

steps:
  - uses: FranzDiebold/github-env-vars-action@v1.2.0
  - name: Print environment variables
    run: |
      echo "GITHUB_REPOSITORY_SLUG=$GITHUB_REPOSITORY_SLUG"
      echo "GITHUB_REPOSITORY_OWNER=$GITHUB_REPOSITORY_OWNER"
      echo "GITHUB_REPOSITORY_OWNER_SLUG=$GITHUB_REPOSITORY_OWNER_SLUG"
      echo "GITHUB_REPOSITORY_NAME=$GITHUB_REPOSITORY_NAME"
      echo "GITHUB_REPOSITORY_NAME_SLUG=$GITHUB_REPOSITORY_NAME_SLUG"
      echo "GITHUB_REF_SLUG=$GITHUB_REF_SLUG"
      echo "GITHUB_REF_NAME=$GITHUB_REF_NAME"
      echo "GITHUB_REF_NAME_SLUG=$GITHUB_REF_NAME_SLUG"
      echo "GITHUB_SHA_SHORT=$GITHUB_SHA_SHORT"

所有操作系统(Linux, macOS和Windows)的演示也可以在存储库的演示工作流文件!

通常，我总是有一个用nodejs或python编写的脚本，从workflow.yaml中调用。该脚本通常负责获取适当的分支引用等工作。

我有一个函数如下，在一个prepare-deployment.js脚本-

const VALID_REF_PREFIX = 'refs/heads/';
...

function getBranchRef(isProd = false) {
  let branchRef = 'origin/master';

  if (isProd) {
    return branchRef;
  }
  /**
   * When the workflow is invoked from manual flow, the branch name
   * is in GITHUB_REF, otherwise, we have to look into GITHUB_BASE_REF
   */
  if (GITHUB_REF.startsWith(VALID_REF_PREFIX)) {
    // coming from a manual workflow trigger
    branchName = `origin/${GITHUB_REF.replace(VALID_REF_PREFIX, '')}`;
  } else {
    // coming from a PR
    branchRef = `origin/${GITHUB_HEAD_REF}`;
  }

  return branchRef;
}

这涉及到以下场景-

我想从PR部署到我的开发环境的变化 我想通过手动触发器将任何分支的更改部署到我的dev env中 我想从master部署更改到我的prod环境
