Support additional session tags like GITHUB_BASE_REF and GITHUB_EVENT_NAME

[jsimoni]

We'd like to be create a trust document on the AWS Role assumed by GitHub Action workflow that only authorizes a workflow that runs on a pull request that targets a specific branch. In order to do that, we would need this GitHub Action to populate Session Tags with the values in the GITHUB_BASE_REF & GITHUB_EVENT_NAME environmental variables.

We should be able to support additional, non-required environment variables as session tags. Thanks for the suggestion!

Documentation here for future reference

You can currently work around your specific issue through your action configuration like so until we may implement this:

on:
  pull_request_target:
    types:
      - opened
    branches:    
      - 'master'
  push:
    branches:    
      - 'master'

When we implement this I think the expectation is that you would add PrincipalTag to the condition in your trust policy, is that correct?

[jsimoni]

@peterwoodworth, yes that's correct.

@peterwoodworth is there any plans to do this?

Or are you happy to accept a PR?

Hi @indy-singh, I don't work on this action anymore. I can't speak for what the current plans are or what bandwidth the owners have right now. Let me ask around, looks to me like this repo needs some love.
