+- Add `ref` and `sha` inputs to the `analyze` action, which override the defaults provided by the GitHub Action context. [#889](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/889)
 - Remove `experimental` message when using custom CodeQL packages. [#888](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/888)
