下面是一个代码片段，它是一个基于$GITHUB_REF的环境变量，如果不存在，则默认为dev。

根据您的需求调整sed命令。

export GIT_BRANCH=$(echo ${GITHUB_REF:-dev} | sed s/.*\\///g)

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}}

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

为了获得delete事件上的ref名称，我最终使用了sed。

on:
  delete:
...
steps:
  - name: Do something
    shell: bash
    run: |
      refname=$(sed -e s:refs/heads/::g -e s:/:-:g <<< ${{ github.event.ref }})

剪掉指针/头/并将斜杠转换为破折号，例如。引用/heads/feature/somefeature到feature-somefeature

在Windows上运行? Windows default命令是一个PowerShell终端。

  - name: SET CURRENT_BRANCH
    run: |
      $branchName = "${{github.ref}}".Split("/")["${{github.ref}}".Split("/").Length -1]
      echo "::set-env name=CURRENT_BRANCH::$(echo $branchName)"

有一个非常简单的git命令来获取当前分支:

git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD

要在env文件变量中获得输出，只需输入:

      - name: Set CURRENT_BRANCH
        run: echo "CURRENT_BRANCH=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)" >> $GITHUB_ENV

获取env变量的输出:

      - name: Get CURRENT_BRANCH
        run: echo ${{ env.CURRENT_BRANCH}}
