Slugify Github Action

This action slugifies the commit ref (branch or tag name) similar to what Gitlab uses. It also sets a shortened commit SHA.

Slugify will get the branch name for push and pull_request events and then process it as follows:

• Lowercased
• Anything not matching [a-z0-9-] is replaced with a -
• Maximum length is 63 bytes
• First/Last Character is not a hyphen

Usage

Define a workflow in .github/workflows/continuous-integration.yml (or add a job if you already have defined workflows).
