How to refactor deprecated set-env in github action

I have a github action that runs set-env, now as it is deprecated as mentioned here, how can refactor the following code?

 run: echo "::set-env name=BRANCH_NAME::$(echo ${GITHUB_HEAD_REF} | tr -cd '[:alnum:]\n' | cut -c -30 | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')"
Solution

  • According to the documentation:

     run: echo "BRANCH_NAME=$(echo ${GITHUB_HEAD_REF} | tr -cd '[:alnum:]\n' | cut -c -30 | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')" >> $GITHUB_ENV

    Additionally, instead of messing up with tr and cut you can get the branch name in a more convenient way using the GITHUB_REF built-in variable. It will simplify the script to

     run: echo "BRANCH_NAME=${GITHUB_REF##*/}" >> $GITHUB_ENV
