Don't forget to run actions/checkout before running this step

I'd like to share an experience I recently had.

Over the past five days, I encountered a persistent issue. Each time I ran the step, the version consistently returned 0.0.0, despite trying every conceivable approach to rectify it. Frustrated, I decided to enable debug mode, which led me to a crucial discovery: 'fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git'. It dawned on me that I hadn't checked out the repository prior to executing this step, causing it to lack access to essential branch and tag details. Realizing my oversight, I promptly added the checkout step before proceeding. The result? Success!

P.S. A heartfelt thanks to @PaulHatch for providing this invaluable action - it has undeniably simplified my life.
