Missing Feature

Currently not working. tested on 2.12.4-c0551d5-1738565637 with a repository on forgejo/gitea (go-gitea/gitea#13794 (comment))
In an ansible task template, a run will give

1:56:51 PM  Warning: Permanently added '[git.example.com]:2222' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
1:56:51 PM  Get current commit hash
1:56:51 PM  Get current commit message

and stalled there until stopped
Git cli is working fine (2.43.0)

That seems to use git cli so should work.
But from https://github.com/semaphoreui/semaphore/blob/develop/go.mod#L9, it seems go-git is used which does not support sha256 yet (opened issue go-git/go-git#706)
