GitHub actions - get absolute path to working directory

Question

In Maven, I need to provide absolute path to a directory in my project. How can I get absolute path to the directory GitHub action is running in?

Answer 1

As pointed out by @soltex, ${GITHUB_WORKSPACE} points to the checkout directory.

Answer 2

In addition to the environment variable described by @Evgeny Bovykin, you can also use the ${{ ...}} syntax with:

${{ github.workspace }}

See the documentation.
