I've tried configuring actions/checkout with the following

• using the name of the branch as a ref
• setting a depth of 2 or 50

Only setting the depth to 0 works but has it's a monorepo it takes a long time to proceed

sorry if this is an issue with my configuration and thanks for the hard work

To Reproduce

- uses: actions/checkout@v3

- name: Run ESLint on changed files
   uses: tj-actions/eslint-changed-files@v18
      with:
        path: "services/api"
        file_extensions: "src/**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}"
        extra_args: "--rulesdir src/eslint/rules"
        config_path: ".eslintrc.js"

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

ubuntu-latest or ubuntu-20.04

Expected behavior?

Being able to operate I guess

Thank you @jackton1 it does work ! Unfortunately it takes about 6 minutes to download the whole history 😞 . Isn't there a way to get it to work quicker ?

[jackton1]

@FredericEspiau You can control the size of the history retrieved via the fetch_depth input
