nx-docker, metadata github branches and slash commands

We use slash commands to build the docker containers and deploy, and we are hitting this:

On a github action on the 'main' brach, we do the following

    - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          ref: ${{ github.event.client_payload.pull_request.head.ref }}
          fetch-depth: 0

The PR branch is checked out e.g. roderik/test

But the following tag setup

              "tags": [
                "type=schedule",
                "type=ref,event=branch",
                "type=ref,event=tag",
                "type=ref,event=pr",
                "type=sha,format=long,prefix={{branch}}-",
                "type=sha,format=long",
                "type=raw,value=development"
              ]

uses the main branch as a branchname. As far as I understand the ci-context package, it gets the branch from github metadata which is usually correct, but not in this case.

Is there a way to override the "branch" from an environment variable of sorts?

ps. we use v2

@roderik hi, there is no way to do that :(

Currently GitHub provider relies only in the response of the octokit client, but gitlab and the other providers relies on env variables
