What do these changes do?
getting the branch name the commit was on is not so straightforward...
when the CI runs the current SHA is in GITHUB_SHA environement
When releasing to staging or production one creates a git TAG.
When the CI runs it checks-out the tag. Then one needs to find where the tag is on. to this end the following git call is run:
this returns the name of the branch where this commit lives, but only searching in branches such as master, hotfix_v or hotfix_staging_ patterns. This should leave out snyk or dependabot generated branches.
