Add long_sha output

[EndBug]

Hey @EndBug I appreciate your work here, would you be able to extend the sha output to be the full sha and not just the last 7 characters? I'm trying to use this on other actions which require the full sha.

@CWSites it sure is something that I could add!

In the meanwhile, you can get the full sha with git rev-parse. Here's a sample step you can use:

- uses: EndBug/add-and-commit@...
  id: commit
  ...

- id: helper
  run: echo "::set-output name={long_sha}::{$(git rev-parse ${{ steps.commit.outputs.commit_sha }})}"

- name: Your other step
  run: echo ${{ steps.helper.outputs.long_sha }}

If I didn't make any typos, this should be a workaround: the helper step sets a long_sha output with the result of the git rev-parse command, that you can later use as an input.

Thanks for the quick response, I'm testing this out now.

I must be doing something wrong here, I'm getting back 0. I'm generating a changelog then trying to commit the updated file. Here is my config.

    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Generate Changelog
        uses: fabernovel/github-changelog-generator-action@master
        with:
          # https://github.com/github-changelog-generator/github-changelog-generator/wiki/Advanced-change-log-generation-examples#additional-options
          options: --token ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} --date-format %m/%d/%Y --output CHANGE_LOG.md --enhancement-label **Features:** --enhancement-labels enhancement --bug-labels defect --exclude-labels documentation,question,release --breaking-labels BREAKING-CHANGE --since-tag 1.0.0 --unreleased-label Current Release

      # https://github.com/marketplace/actions/add-commit
      - name: Commit and Push Changelog
        uses: EndBug/add-and-commit@v7.4.0
        with:
          add: CHANGE_LOG.md
          default_author: github_actions
          message: 'Update Changelog'

      - name: Generate Changelog SHA
        id: changelog-sha
        run: echo "::set-output name={long_sha}::{$(git rev-parse ${{ steps.commit.outputs.commit_sha }})}"

      - name: Print Changelog SHA
        run: echo ${{ steps.changelog-sha.outputs.long_sha }}

The output that I'm getting in my action is

You forgot to add id: commit to the add-and-commit step

[CWSites]

Ohhh I see, thank you! Trying this now

[CWSites]

Alrighty, we are getting closer...

      - name: Commit and Push Changelog
        id: commit
        uses: EndBug/add-and-commit@v7.4.0
        with:
          add: CHANGE_LOG.md
          default_author: github_actions
          message: 'Update Changelog'

      - name: Generate Changelog SHA
        id: changelog-sha
        run: echo "::set-output name={long_sha}::{$(git rev-parse ${{ steps.commit.outputs.commit_sha }})}"

      - name: Print Changelog SHA
        run: echo ${{ steps.changelog-sha.outputs.long_sha }}

The first part is showing the short SHA, the long output is still showing {0} though.

Maybe it's the - in the id name (?)

[CWSites]

No joy, same output as above with {0}

      - name: Commit and Push Changelog
        id: commit
        uses: EndBug/add-and-commit@v7.4.0
        with:
          add: CHANGE_LOG.md
          default_author: github_actions
          message: 'Update Changelog'

      - name: Generate Changelog SHA
        id: generate_sha
        run: echo "::set-output name={long_sha}::{$(git rev-parse ${{ steps.commit.outputs.commit_sha }})}"

      - name: Print Changelog SHA
        run: echo ${{ steps.generate_sha.outputs.long_sha }}

This feature has been added in v8.0.0 (also v8 and latest). Thanks for your issue!
