Get-Branch-Name Github Action

This action outputs the current branch name and corresponding tag. Composite action: one bash step, no container build per run and no Node runtime to deprecate.

Outputs

branch

The current branch name — GITHUB_REF with the refs/heads/ prefix removed. Refs that are not branches (tags, pull requests) come through unchanged, e.g. refs/tags/v1.

tag

master on the master branch, latest when the ref is a tag, empty otherwise.

Example usage

- name: Get Current Branch
  id: get-branch

- run: echo "${{ steps.get-branch.outputs.branch }} / ${{ steps.get-branch.outputs.tag }}"
