Change branch ref

[maxbec]

I have a github action which triggers on a merged pull_request:

on:
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - dev
    types:
      - closed

How can i tell the vercel deploy action to use the base branch for deployment and not the head branch.
Because in that moment wenn the pr is merged the head branch is deleted.

      - id: script
        uses: actions/github-script@v3
        with:
          script: |
            core.setOutput('ref', 'dev')

      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          ref: 'dev'

This is not working unfortunately.

Any ideas?

I don't think this is a problem with this Action. This Action obviously needs your site code in the runner to be able to deploy your code to Vercel.

I suggest you try turning off auto-delete-branch-on-pr-merge setting in your repo settings. You could make the branch delete a step in workflow after a successful deployment.
