If new commits are pushed on a branch during the workflow, subsequent checkouts do not fetch these commits

[kevinlul]

I have a workflow that checks out the current repository's default branch and pushes a commit to it. A second job called by the workflow checks out the repository again. I'm finding that the second job checks out the same commit as the first job (e.g. both check out commit A), even though the first job commits and pushes commit B to the branch, so I intended and expected the second job to check out commit B.

Example run:

1. first job checks out commit 5e7d12d
2. first job commits ea731bd and pushes it to GitHub
3. second job still checks out commit 5e7d12d

Possibly related to #1036

I am seeing the same problem.
I have a workflow with 2 jobs, JobA & JobB. I commit and push changes to the branch on JobA, in JobB when checkout@V3 runs i get the latest commit on JobA before i pushed the commit

After investigation into how this action works, I believe DawnbrandBots/yaml-yugi-ko@2d3e1ae is the correct approach when we push within a workflow run, because by default, it checks out the triggering SHA (ish) rather than the branch.
