Since Github action doesn't expose job details (ID, URL) to the environment. This action will expose those through environment variables. Just include the action step, no passing arguments!

runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: ReeganExE/[email protected]
- run: |
echo $GH_JOB_0_ID
env | grep GH_JOB
By default, it exposes env variables as $GH_JOB_<JOB_INDEX>_ID. If you want to use job name instead, add the arg expose-name: true.
Note: the sepcial characters in the job name will be replaced by _ character

If you want to use this in private repos, add the following permissions to your workflow job. See permission.
(The action needs actions:read permission to access the job list. No need for public repo).
