    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: int128/deployment-action@v1

This action infers the environment name as follows:

• On a pull request, the environment name is generated from the number like pr-123
• On push of a branch, the environment name is the branch name like main
• On push of a tag, the environment name is the tag name like tags/v1.0.0
• Otherwise, the environment name is pair of workflow name and event name, like workflow/schedule

You can explicitly set the environment name by the input.

This action deletes all deployments of the environment name before creation. It keeps the timeline of pull request clean.
