[Bug] Failing to detect branch when GitHub action is triggered from a comment on the pull request

Describe the bug Failing to detect branch when GitHub action is triggered from a comment on the pull request

Expected Behavior

It should detect the branch name of the pull request.

Actual Behavior

it always says it's develop (the pr is from a feature branch into develop)

Context

I tried to get the branch name manually, so if there is a way I can provide the correct branch name to gitversion.

Your Environment

• Operating System and version (Windows 10, Ubuntu 18.04): ubuntu-latest

  - name: Determine Version
    uses: gittools/actions/gitversion/[email protected]

Have you tried providing the environment variable Git_Branch?

[abd3lraouf]

Unfortunately, this is not our case, we use it to trigger the workflow on the PR branch, I cannot provide it manually.

[asbjornu]

Ah, I see you're using GitHub Actions. I don't think Git_Branch should do anything to or from then. @arturcic, do you remember how gitversion/execute determines the branch name?

[arturcic]

The GitHub action as well as Azure DevOps task is just a wrapper for the global tool.

[asbjornu]

So the action does nothing to convey the information about which branch is being built to the global tool? If not, we should probably do that, somehow. 🤔

[asbjornu]

#3020 seems to contradict this, somehow?
