'append_to_pre_release_tag' returns the branch name when provided an empty string

[victorhearnyeates]

I want to create a new tag, but have no suffix added by the action. However the use of the ternary operator in the action.ts code means that it interepts this empty string as not providing a value and instead uses the default of the branch name.

https://github.com/mathieudutour/github-tag-action/blob/master/src/action.ts#L65

Basically, we need some way to be able to provide an empty string if we want nothing appended

I am looking for the same solution.

And I also have the same issue.

You could set all branches to be release branches so it generates a tag like main by default:

      - name: Push patch tag
        id: push_patch_tag
        uses: mathieudutour/[email protected]
        with:
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GH_TOKEN }}
          # Ensure this branch is considered a release and it gets a normal tag
          release_branches: .*
