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

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

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。

${{ github.ref_name }}

至少对推送来说还行。参见ref_name了解更多细节。它说:

触发工作流运行的分支或标记名称。

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 }}

如果你使用的是V2的actions/checkout，那么你总是可以运行git branch——show-current来获取当前签出的分支的名称。

同时处理pull_request和push事件的解决方案。由于set-env已弃用，因此实现了保存获得的分支名称以供后续步骤使用的变通方法。 不需要第三方操作。

name: CI
on: [ pull_request, push ]
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: "Get branch name and save to env"
        env:
          IS_PR: ${{ github.EVENT_NAME == 'pull_request' }}
        run: |
          if ${IS_PR}; then
            BRANCH_NAME="${GITHUB_HEAD_REF}"
          else
            BRANCH_NAME="${GITHUB_REF##*/}"
          fi
          echo "BRANCH_NAME=${BRANCH_NAME}" >> $GITHUB_ENV

      - name: "Another step uses branch name"
        run: echo "Branch name is ${{ env.BRANCH_NAME }}"
