feature request to provide and option to checkout code outside of $GITHUB_WORKSPACE

[iamniting]

I would like to make a feature request. I wanted to use this action for my project which is written in golang. I want to place my code in the /home/runner/go with the path option instead of $GITHUB_WORKSPACE which is not possible as of today.

Can someone guide me, how we can do that if it is possible? Otherwise, I would request to have a feature for that.

Does setting the path not work?

      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          path: /home/runner/go

Hi @intolerance above does not work. I get the below error.

Run actions/checkout@v2
  with:
    fetch-depth: 0
    path: /home/runner/go/src/github.com/heketi/heketi
    repository: iamniting/heketi
    token: ***
    ssh-strict: true
    persist-credentials: true
    clean: true
    lfs: false
    submodules: false
  env:
    GOROOT: /opt/hostedtoolcache/go/1.14.7/x64
##[error]Repository path '/home/runner/go/src/github.com/heketi/heketi' is not under '/home/runner/work/heketi/heketi'

The error is getting generated from here I guess

checkout/src/input-helper.ts

Line 49 in 1433f62

`Repository path '${result.repositoryPath}' is not under '${githubWorkspacePath}'`
