Suppress hint: You are in 'detached HEAD' state.

[jsoref]

Downstream consumers of actions shouldn't see noise that git is checking out a detached head. When actions/checkout is used, it will be given something specific to check out, and if that results in a detached head, that's clearly intentional...

  check-spelling:

    steps:

      if: "contains(github.event_name, 'pull_request')"
      uses: actions/checkout@v2.0.0
      with:
        ref: refs/pull/${{github.event.pull_request.number}}/merge

    ref: refs/pull/1/merge

 * [new ref]         refs/pull/1/merge -> pull/1/merge

Note: switching to 'refs/remotes/pull/1/merge'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

I disagree. I caught a bug in our GitHub Actions workflow only because I noticed this log.

The log offers clarity about what is going on (which is the point of logs). If people misinterpret them, that's on them.
