@EverlastingBugstopper This stems from a support ticket where a user had an issue with checking against the GH merge commit instead of HEAD. I didn't encounter this same issue in my own project, but setting the SHA like this doesn't seem to hurt anything either! Thoughts? |

"executes against" isn't exactly correct. you could say "make sure Rover reports the pull request's HEAD commit to Studio so that the check matches the commit expected by the Apollo Studio GitHub App". or something

Hmm, this almost seems like something we should just detect and do automatically. Is that too magic though? Docs are a great solution without such implementation done in the near-term though. |

Yes this has come up before - I think docs are a good solution here. Last time this came up I believe it was determined that it wasn't super possible to tell when was the right time to do this, but this comment on this thread is kinda illuminating on why GH Actions does this by default. |
