support env var in name or path

[FernandoMiguel]

    - name: publish
      uses: actions/upload-artifact@master
      with:
        name: mypackage-$GITHUB_SHA
        path: ./OUT/mypackage-$GITHUB_SHA

I think that you can achieve it with ${{ github.sha }}.

@1138-4eb thank, will give it a try

What about environment variables like HOME?

    - name: publish
      uses: actions/upload-artifact@master
      with:
        name: mypackage
        path: ${HOME}/output

^ this didn't work, ${HOME} was interpreted verbatim

[FernandoMiguel]

@ztl8702 it always starts in the job home.
So I don't find that required

[ztl8702]

Well not quite; HOME points to D:\ on the windows machine. Whereas the upload-artifacts assumes the starting path is D:\a\<repo-name>\<repo-name>

Also HOME is just an example, could be TEMP or other environment variables.
People might have the need to produce artifacts to a tmp folder rather than inside the repository.
