This PR improves the speed of the workflow by reducing the fetch depth from everything to just the last 500 commits. As long as the commit you're trying to deploy is within the last 500 commits this will work. This speeds up the checkout from 5 minutes to less than one minute!
However, the workflow will fail if the chosen commit is not within the last 500 commits. In the rare case that we need to deploy an older commit, it's possible to override the default 500 when starting the workflow.
This PR also tidies up the workflow yaml and removes the link to the workflow run in case of a successful run (as it's only really needed in case you want to debug a failed run).
