# Context and motivation
Get Workflow Origin is an action that provides information about the pull requests that triggered the
workflow for the `pull_request` and `pull_request_review` events or for the `workflow_run` event
that is triggered by one of those events.
Often in those events you want to get more information about the source run than the
one provided directly via GitHub context.
For example, you would like to know what is the merge commit generated by pull request in case
the workflow is triggered by a pull request, or labels associated with the Pull Request.
This action provides outputs that give that information. You should add this action as first
one in your workflow and then you will be able to use those outputs using 'needs' dependency.
The `sourceRunId` input should not be specified in case of the `pull_request` event, but it should
be set to `${{ github.event.workflow_run.id }}` in case of the `workflow_run` event.
# Inputs and outputs
## Inputs
| Input | Required | Default | Comment |
|-------------------------|----------|--------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `token` | yes | | The github token passed from `${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}` |
| `sourceRunId` | no | | In case of 'workflow_run' event it should be set to `${{ github.event.workflow_run.id }}` |
## Outputs
| Output | No `sourceRunId` specified | The `sourceRunId` set to `${{ github.event.workflow_run.id }}` |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `sourceHeadRepo` | Current repository. Format: `owner/repo` | Repository of the run that triggered this `workflow_run`. Format: `owner/repo` |
| `sourceHeadBranch` | Current branch. | Branch of the run that triggered this `workflow_run`. Might be forked repo, if it is a pull_request. |
| `sourceHeadSha` | Current commit SHA: `{{ github.sha }}` | Commit sha of the run that triggered this `workflow_run`. |
| `mergeCommitSha` | Merge commit SHA if PR-triggered event. | Merge commit SHA if PR-triggered event. |
| `targetCommitSha` | Target commit SHA (merge if present, otherwise source). | Target commit SHA (merge if present, otherwise source). |
| `pullRequestNumber` | Number of the associated Pull Request (if PR triggered) | Number of the associated Pull Request (if PR triggered) |
| `pullRequestLabels` | Stringified JSON array of Labels of the associated Pull Request (if PR triggered) | Stringified JSON array of Labels of the associated Pull Request (if PR triggered) |

## Development environment
It is highly recommended tu use [pre commit](https://pre-commit.com). The pre-commits
installed via pre-commit tool handle automatically linting (including automated fixes) as well
as building and packaging Javascript index.js from the main.ts Typescript code, so you do not have
to run it yourself.
