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。

工作流

    steps:
      - name: Git checkout

        run: echo running on branch ${GITHUB_REF##*/}

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。

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}}

https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/contexts-and-expression-syntax-for-github-actions#github-context

博士TL;

这适用于你可以在on下指定的每个触发器(例如push或pull_request):

env:
 BRANCH_NAME: ${{ github.head_ref || github.ref_name }} 

解释

诀窍在于github。head_ref仅在工作流由pull_request触发时设置，并且它包含PR. github的源分支的值。Ref_name只在工作流不是由pull_request触发的情况下使用，而且它也只包含分支名称。

GitHub的文档

来自GitHub官方文档的详细解释:

github。ref_name string触发工作流运行的分支或标记的短引用名称。该值与GitHub上显示的分支或标记名称匹配。例如，feature-branch-1。

github。工作流运行中pull请求的head_ref或源分支。此属性仅在触发工作流运行的事件为pull_request或pull_request_target时可用。

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 }}

要将其设置为环境变量，我使用以下语法:

- name: Extract branch name
  shell: bash
  run: echo "::set-env name=BRANCH_NAME::$(echo ${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/} | sed 's/\//_/g')"
- name: Test
  run: echo "${BRANCH_NAME}"

我发现这个语法在这里:Github动作-启动worflows#如何定义环境变量?# 68

Rmq: sed 's/\//_/g'将用_替换分支名称中的/
