this is normal, because there is only one commit on github PRs. This is because the "branch" that is actually being used is the merge between the base branch and the PR branch, not just the PR branch.

if you want to have the real number of commits, you must checkout you base branch (main usually) and your PR branch.

This is how we do it:

    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
          lfs: true

      - name: Checkout base, head branches
        run: |
          git checkout ${{ env.BASE_REF }}
          git checkout ${{ env.HEAD_REF }}
        env:
          BASE_REF: ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.ref }}
          HEAD_REF: ${{ github.head_ref }}
