Get Job ID Action

GitHub doesn't provide the job id anywhere so here's a simple action to get the job id for the current job.

Usage

Calling the action in the job you want to get the job id for. Provide an ID for the step so you can reference the output.

Example

jobs:
  run:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: austenstone/job-id@v1
        id: job-id
      - run: echo $GITHUB_JOB_ID
        env:
          GITHUB_JOB_ID: ${{ steps.job-id.outputs.job-id }}

➡️ Inputs

Various inputs are defined in action.yml:

Name	Description	Default
github‑token	Token to use to authorize.	${{ github.token }}

⬅️ Outputs

Name	Description
job-id	The job id for the current job.
