Description

Hi,

The issue is related to another popular GitHub Action actions/checkout which allows to checkout the repository. Unfortunately, when checking out the repository that triggered a workflow, this defaults to the reference or SHA for that event. This means, that the subsequent jobs in the workflow will not include the updates made with PSR action.

For example if we have a workflow with 3 jobs, the first to run PSR and release package to GitHub, the second job to build and release image to Docker Hub(the image should include updated package with changelog changes, new version file, etc from the job 1), and the third job to build and release package to PyPI(the built package should also include all of the updates from the job 1).
Here is an example of this workflow(with some non-important steps amended):

jobs:
  release:
    name: Release Package to GitHub
    outputs:
      released: ${{ steps.release.outputs.released }}
      version: ${{ steps.release.outputs.version }}
      tag: ${{ steps.release.outputs.tag }}
    steps:
      - id: release
        name: Python Semantic Release
        uses: python-semantic-release/python-semantic-release@master
  docker:
    name: Build and push Docker image
    needs: release
    steps:
    - name: Build and push
      uses: docker/build-push-action@v5
      with:
        push: true
        tags: username/image:${{ needs.release.outputs.version }}, username/image:latest
  pypi:
    name: Publish to PyPI
    needs: release
    steps:
    - name: Install dependencies
    - name: Download source code
      uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - name: Build package distributions
    - name: Publish package distributions to PyPI

The way GitHub actions works, the pypi and docker jobs will not include the commits made by release job. A simple git pull to HEAD reference, will pull those commits; However, such solution can also introduce a race condition, in case there were other commits made while the release job was running. More Info about this issue.

The correct solution would be for PSR GitHub Action to output the hash of the commit that has been made, which can be used in other jobs to pull the updates.

Use cases

Using separate jobs for updating version/releasing packages.

Possible implementation

Well, adding outputs would be easy(I assume), but I'm not sure how to get the commit hash after push, if someone can explain which function pushes the committed changes, I can try to work on the pull request.

Thank you
