 | `GITHUB_REPOSITORY` | The owner and repository name. For example, `octocat/Hello-World`. |
 | `GITHUB_EVENT_NAME` | The name of the webhook event that triggered the workflow. |
 | `GITHUB_EVENT_PATH` | The path of the file with the complete webhook event payload. For example, `/github/workflow/event.json`. |
-| `GITHUB_WORKSPACE` | The {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} workspace directory path. The workspace directory contains a subdirectory with a copy of your repository if your workflow uses the [actions/checkout](https://github.com/actions/checkout) action. If you don't use the `actions/checkout` action, the directory will be empty. For example, `/home/runner/work/my-repo-name/my-repo-name`. |

 | `GITHUB_REF` | The branch or tag ref that triggered the workflow. For example, `refs/heads/feature-branch-1`. If neither a branch or tag is available for the event type, the variable will not exist. |
 | `GITHUB_HEAD_REF` | Only set for forked repositories. The branch of the head repository.
