Unable to run action without setting source control range

[ghensto]

I keep getting this error "unknown revision or path not in the working tree."

Had this issue as well. Use 'origin/{branch name}'.

I get the following error unless I use connorsmallman/[email protected]:

Getting range origin/develop...origin/master commit logs
fatal: ambiguous argument 'origin/develop...origin/master': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

It looks like github's v2 action for checking out your uses some new fancy flags:

/usr/bin/git -c protocol.version=2 fetch --no-tags --prune --progress --no-recurse-submodules --depth=1 origin +...

I suspect this isn't fetching all the branches, tags and such it normally would have. Skimming the docs for the action I didn't spot an option for fetching extra branches I'm interested in, so I just fell back to using v1 of the github checkout action.

steps:
    - name: Checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v3
      with:
        fetch-depth: 0
