with:
    source: ${{ github.ref }} # this translates to ref/heads/main on the main branch, but can be any arbitrary string 
    find: 'ref/heads/'        # we want to remove ref/heads/ from source 
    replace: ''               # and replace it with a blank string (ie. removing it)

This will output main.
