GITHUB_REFenvironment variable is not defined, butACTIONS_CACHE_REFFollows #263 (comment).
💁♂️ I would like to be able to use
actions/cachefordeploymentevents.Here's my use case:
deploymentin workflows, e.g., when pushing to a branch that should be deployed to a staging environment, or when pushing to a branch that should be deployed to a production environmentdeploymentevents in a separate workflow, where an application is deployed to an environment depending on thepayloadof thedeploymentevent, and here I would like to be able to useactions/cacheto speed up builds. Fordeploymentevents,GITHUB_REFis not defined.❓I'm wondering, the previously available
RefKeyis only used to verify whether the environment variableGITHUB_REFis defined, but as far as I could see, the actual value ofGITHUB_REFis never used. Why is that the case? Why do we care in the first place?
