我相信GITHUB_REF是唯一包含分支名称的环境变量。

你可以从字符串的其余部分提取分支名称，如下所示:

${GITHUB_REF##*/}

例子:

$ GITHUB_REF=refs/heads/feature-branch-1
$ echo ${GITHUB_REF##*/}
feature-branch-1

更新:添加了一个完整的工作流示例。

有关参数展开语法的更多信息，请参阅这个答案。

作为参考，GitHub Actions的虚拟环境页面列出了执行环境中可用的所有环境变量。

如何在Github行动中获得当前的分支?

假设${{github。Ref}}类似于refs/heads/mybranch，你可以使用以下方法提取分支名称:

steps:
  - name: Prints the current branch name
    run: echo "${GITHUB_BRANCH##*/}"
    env:
      GITHUB_BRANCH: ${{ github.ref }}

如果你的分支包含斜杠(比如feature/foo)，使用下面的语法:

steps:
  - name: Prints the current branch name
    run: echo "${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/}"

致谢:@rmunn评论

或者使用已接受答案的方法，这里是更短的版本(lint友好):

steps:
  - name: Get the current branch name
    shell: bash
    run: echo "::set-output name=branch::${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/}"
    id: myref

然后在其他步骤中引用${{steps.myref.outputs.branch}}。

注:

上述方法仅适用于基于unix的映像(Linux和macOS)。 对于文档，请阅读:GitHub Actions的上下文和表达式语法。

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

我做了一个获取分支名称的操作，而不管是否触发pull_request。https://github.com/EthanSK/git-branch-name-action

我添加了一个单独的步骤，用于从$GITHUB_REF提取分支名称，并将其设置为步骤输出

- name: Extract branch name
  shell: bash
  run: echo "##[set-output name=branch;]$(echo ${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/})"
  id: extract_branch

在那之后，我可以在接下来的步骤中使用它

- name: Push to ECR
  id: ecr
  uses: jwalton/gh-ecr-push@master
  with:
    access-key-id: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
    secret-access-key: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
    region: us-west-2
    image: eng:${{ steps.extract_branch.outputs.branch }}

注意，如果你在pull request触发器上执行你的GitHub动作，那么GITHUB_REF变量将包含类似refs/pull/421/merge这样的东西，所以如果你尝试git push到那个名字，它很可能会失败。

你可以在YAML中使用GitHub上下文中的引用。比如:${{github。head_ref}}
