Checkout the called repository at the same reference it was invoked with

Following the discussion here, since evidently there is not enough dogfeeding happening at @github, I created checkout-called to simplify checking out the called repository in your reusable workflows

This action requires id-token: write permissions

To use this action in your called workflows and check out the repository automatically, add the following lines:

- name: Checkout called repo
  uses: dariocurr/checkout-called@main

This action mirrors the arguments of actions/checkout, except for ref and repository that are injected automatically based on the call.

For example, if you call: user/repository/.github/workflows/workflow.yml@branch, it will checkout the user/repository repository using branch as reference

This repository is committed to maintaining compatibility and same version as actions/checkout
