📄 Description

With this change act will try to populate the githubContext.ref and
githubContext.sha with values read from the event payload.

Caveats:

page_build should not have a ref
status should not have a ref
registry_package should set the ref to the branch/tag but the
payload isn't documented
workflow_call should set ref to the same value as its caller but the
payload isn't documented
most of the events should set the sha to the last commit on the ref
but unfortunately the sha is not always included in the payload,
therefore we use the sha from the local git checkout
