What does this pull request do? Explain your changes. (required)
Always checkout the head commit for GH actions.
When a
pull_request
event triggers a GH action, the@actions/checkout
action will checkout from the repo using the value ofgithub.ref
. The value ofgithub.ref
in this scenario is the SHA hash of the merge commit that is created by merging the base to the head. The problem with this is that the merge commit hash will be referenced in the go-livepeer version string, but the merge commit might not be present in the commit history (see #1887) which makes it difficult to debug builds.Specific updates (required)
Set
github.ref
to the SHA of the head commit when checking out.How did you test each of these updates (required)
Ran CI.
