[Question] Problem with create tag

[solairen]

Hi, I have a problem with tagging to create a release. If I use ${{ github.ref }} the action will create the tag with the name:
refs/heads/main. It is possible to set the proper variable to create the tag like 1.0 or v1.0?

How to reproduce:

• Create action with actions/create-release@1
• In tag_name set ${{ github.ref }}
• Run action

Additional info
My workflow:

Create_Release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Checkout code
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Create Release
      id: create_release
      uses: actions/create-release@v1
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.token }}
      with:
          tag_name: ${{ github.ref }}
          release_name: Release ${{ github.ref }}
          body: |
            Changes in this Release
            - some changes
          draft: false
          prerelease: false

The release looks like this:

Release refs/heads/main

I have two solutions: you can use github.sha to use the commit's sha, or github.run_number, it's a number that start at 1 for the first workflow run and increments each runs

EDIT: I think it's better to use github.run_number in case you, for whatever reason, run two times the workflow on the same commit
