GitHub Actions issue_comment event github.sha default branch commit documentation
💡 Result:
When a GitHub Actions workflow is triggered by the issue_comment event, the GITHUB_SHA environment variable (and the github.sha context property) defaults to the commit SHA of the default branch of the repository, rather than the tip of the pull request branch associated with the comment [1][2]. This behavior occurs because the issue_comment event is triggered by the repository's activity, and the workflow itself must exist on the default branch to execute [3][4][5]. Since there is no inherent "pull request commit" context tied to a comment in the same way there is for a push or pull_request event, GitHub defaults to the head commit of the base branch [1]. To work with the correct commit SHA of a pull request when triggered by an issue_comment event, you must manually resolve it using the GitHub API [1][4]: 1. Use the github.event.issue.pull_request.url property (available in the event payload when the comment is on a pull request) to identify the associated pull request [3][5]. 2. Use the GitHub REST API or GraphQL API (often via actions/github-script) to fetch the pull request details, specifically the head.sha [4]. 3. Pass this resolved SHA to the actions/checkout step using the ref input [4]. Example of how to retrieve the PR head SHA: - name: Get PR head SHA id: get_pr_sha uses: actions/github-script@v7 with: script: | const { data: pull } = await github.rest.pulls.get({ owner: context.repo.owner, repo: context.repo.repo, pull_number: context.payload.issue.number, }); return pull.head.sha; You can then use ${{ steps.get_pr_sha.outputs.result }} in subsequent steps, such as checking out the code [4].

myrotvorets/set-commit-status-action sha input action.yml commit status API
💡 Result:
The myrotvorets/set-commit-status-action provides a sha input to specify the SHA hash of the commit to be updated [1][2]. The behavior and default values for the sha input are as follows: - Purpose: It specifies the commit SHA hash for which the status should be set [1][3]. - Automatic Detection: The action can automatically determine the SHA for standard events [1][2]. It defaults to github.pull_request.head.sha for pull requests and github.sha for push events [1][4]. - Manual Override: For events where the SHA is not automatically detected (or if you wish to target a different commit), you must explicitly provide the SHA value via the sha input [1][3]. Usage in action.yml: You can provide the sha input in your workflow file within the with section of the action usage, as shown in the following example: - name: Set commit status uses: myrotvorets/set-commit-status-action@master with: sha: ${{ github.sha }} # Explicitly setting the SHA status: success context: My Context The action interacts with the GitHub Commit Status API to update the status of the specified commit [2][3]. Ensure the token provided (defaulting to github.token) has the required statuses: write permissions to successfully update the commit status [1][5].

Do not use github.sha as the final-status fallback.
If Get PR head SHA and context fails, always() still runs the final-status step. On issue_comment, github.sha identifies the default-branch commit, so myrotvorets/set-commit-status-action can post the result to the wrong commit.
Require a nonempty steps.head_sha_context.outputs.head_sha in the final-step condition and pass that output directly as sha in all four workflows.
