Command used with act

act --github-instance github.mycompanany.com

Describe issue

The variable ${{ github.server_url }} is empty by default, and assigning a value to --github-instance does not fill it.
I'd expect ${{ github.server_url }} to be something like https://github.com by default and then change if you assigned something to --github-instance.
