About this warning
Warning: 1 issue was detected with this workflow: git checkout HEAD^2 is no longer
necessary. Please remove this step as Code Scanning recommends analyzing the merge
commit for best results.
If you're using an old {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} workflow you may receive this warning from the "Initialize {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %}" action.
Confirm the cause of the problem
Check for the following lines from the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} workflow. These lines were included in the steps section of the Analyze job in initial versions of the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} workflow.
with:
# We must fetch at least the immediate parents so that if this is
# a pull request then we can checkout the head.
fetch-depth: 2
# If this run was triggered by a pull request event, then checkout
# the head of the pull request instead of the merge commit.
- run: git checkout HEAD^2
if: {% raw %}${{ github.event_name == 'pull_request' }}{% endraw %}
Fixing the problem
Remove the lines from the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} workflow. The revised steps section of the workflow should now look like this:
steps:
- name: Checkout repository
uses: {% data reusables.actions.action-checkout %}
# Initializes the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} tools for scanning.
- name: Initialize {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %}
uses: {% data reusables.actions.action-codeql-action-init %}
# ...
