GitHub Actions for VS Code
Summary
When triggering a workflow from VS Code, the branch/ref dropdown preselects an unrelated branch (often from a linked worktree or prior context) instead of the branch currently checked out in the active workspace folder.
Expected behavior
Default selected branch/ref should be the branch currently checked out in the active workspace repository.
Actual behavior
The dialog defaults to a different branch than the active workspace branch.
Repro (generic)
- Create a repository with multiple branches.
- Create at least one additional Git linked worktree with a different branch checked out.
- In VS Code, open the original workspace folder on branch
feature/current. - Use the extension command/UI to trigger a workflow manually.
- Observe the preselected branch/ref in the trigger dialog.
Observed result
The preselected branch/ref is not feature/current; it appears to come from stale/cached/worktree context.
Notes
- Manually switching the branch in the dialog works, but the default is misleading and easy to miss.
- This can cause accidental workflow runs on the wrong branch.
Suggested fix
Prefer branch/ref resolution from the active workspace repository HEAD (and only fall back to cached/worktree-derived refs if workspace HEAD cannot be determined).
