🧩 Notes

This action is built on top of the dotenv and dotenv-expand libraries. When starting the action, the file is read from the target folder in the

path
property and using the mode specified in
mode
.

The name of the

.env
file depends on the startup mode. If you do not specify the launch mode, the
.env
file will be loaded. If you need to load a
.env
file for a specific mode, you should specify the
mode
property.

Thus, specifying

mode: test
will read the
.env.test
file.
mode: development
will read
.env.development
and so on.

After reading and parsing the variables from the

.env
file, it writes them to
GITHUB_ENV
.

If the action should continue when the .env file is not present, the optional

load-mode
flag can be set to
skip
. This can be particularly, for example, useful in secondary branches, where some aspects of the action may not be relevant.

Action also supports variable expansion, e.g.
