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

我们目前有一个单独的作业，它在所有其他作业之前运行。该步骤根据分支名称决定在什么环境中运行。我们的分支与部署基础设施和代码库的特定环境相关联。每个环境都有自己的秘密(github企业特性)。

输出环境变量可用于所有其他连续作业。您可以在步骤中使用该变量，例如将其设置为NODE_ENV，或者用它标记docker图像。您还可以在该特定变量上设置并发性，以确保同一时间只运行使用相同值的单个作业或工作流。这使得它非常强大。

下面是我上面描述的一个例子:

name: Build pipeline
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - feature/*
      - develop
      - release/*
      - main

jobs:
  environments:
    name: Set environment
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - run: echo "Setting $ENVIRONMENT.."
    outputs:
      # Defaults to 'dev' in case of a feature branch
      # You could also use the contains expression if needed
      environment: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' && 'prd' || (startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/heads/release/') && 'acc' || github.ref == 'refs/heads/develop' && 'tst' || 'dev') }}

  build:
    name: Docker build
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: [environments]
    environment: ${{ needs.environments.outputs.environment }} # Enterprise only
    concurrency: ${{ needs.environments.outputs.environment }}
    env:
      ENVIRONMENT: ${{ needs.environments.outputs.environment }}
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Build
        run: |
          docker build . \
            -t hello/world:${{ needs.environments.outputs.environment }}

注意:因为提取环境名称不是在bash或powershell中完成的，你被绑定到github动作提供的有限表达式。如果你需要更花哨的东西，你可以用不同的方式来做，这不是唯一的真理。然而，我总是喜欢让事情简单易懂。

替代(快速)选项

如果你不介意使用其他人的github动作，你可以使用市场上的许多动作之一，做一个找到一个替换。这里可以找到一个例子，它看起来像:

on: [push]

jobs:
  replace-job:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: 'Find and replace'
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Remove refs/heads/ from string
        uses: mad9000/actions-find-and-replace-string@1
        id: findandreplace
        with:
          source: ${{ github.ref }}
          find: 'refs/heads/'
          replace: ''
      - name: Branch name
        run: echo "The branch name is ${{ steps.findandreplace.outputs.value }}"

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。

${{ 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。

下面是一个适用于push和pull_request事件的完整工作流

name: whichBranch
on: [pull_request, push]

jobs:
  which_branch:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Extract branch name on push
        if: github.event_name != 'pull_request'
        shell: bash
        run: echo "::set-env name=BRANCH_NAME::$(echo ${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/})"
        id: extract_branch

      - name: Extract branch name on pull request
        if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'
        run: echo "::set-env name=BRANCH_NAME::$(echo ${GITHUB_HEAD_REF})"

      - name: Print branch name
        run: echo 'The branch name is' $BRANCH_NAME

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
