Branch alias when using GitHub action

Hi all, I have a very simple github actions job that deploys the preview of my static site to cloudflare

  publish-docs:
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
    needs: docs-test
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0

      - name: Login to GitHub Container Registry
        uses: docker/login-action@v1
        with:
          registry: ghcr.io
          username: ${{ github.actor }}
          password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

      - name: Build docs
        run: |
          docs.sh

      - name: Publish to Cloudflare Pages
        uses: cloudflare/pages-action@v1
        with:
          apiToken: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN }}
          accountId: <redacted>
          projectName: learn
          directory: site
          # Optional: Enable this if you want to have GitHub Deployments triggered
          gitHubToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

  publish-docs:
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
    needs: docs-test
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0

      - name: Login to GitHub Container Registry
        uses: docker/login-action@v1
        with:
          registry: ghcr.io
          username: ${{ github.actor }}
          password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

      - name: Build docs
        run: |
          docs.sh

      - name: Publish to Cloudflare Pages
        uses: cloudflare/pages-action@v1
        with:
          apiToken: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN }}
          accountId: <redacted>
          projectName: learn
          directory: site
          # Optional: Enable this if you want to have GitHub Deployments triggered
          gitHubToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

The deployment works ok, but I miss the branch alias for the preview deployments the only alias I get for this deployment is head How do I enable branch name as an alias?

since pages-action seems to be discontinued in favor of a more generic wrangler action, it seems we need to address our concerns there instead https://github.com/cloudflare/wrangler-action/issues/274

I'm coming from the deprecated pages-action and one feature I really miss is being able to update the GitHub deployments environment.
