Github Action to create a .env file with Github Secrets
### SpicyPizza/[email protected]

## About

A Github Action to create a .env file with Github Secrets. This is useful when
you are creating artifacts that need to contain secrets stored in Github
Secrets. This creates a file with variables that are defined in the Action
config.

## Usage

The action looks for environment variables that start with `INPUT_ENVKEY_` and creates an envfile with them. To add a key to the envfile, add a key/pair to the `with:` section. It must begin with `envkey_`.
The Action looks for environment variables that start with `envkey_` and creates
an envfile with them. These are defined in the `with` section of the Action
config. Here is an example of it in use:

```yml
name: Create envfile

In this example, there are 6 keys:
## Inputs
In the example above, there are several key/value pairs that will be added to
the envfile:
| Name | Description |
|---------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `envkey_DEBUG`, `envkey_SOME_API_KEY` | These values can be whatever, and they will be added to the envfile as `DEBUG` and `SOME_API_KEY` . |
| `envkey_SOME_API_KEY` | This one will use a secret stored in the repository's Github Secrets, and add it to the file as `SECRET_KEY` |
| `directory` (**Optional**) | This key will set the directory in which you want to create `env` file. (Action will fail if the specified directory doesn't exist.) |
| `file_name` (**Optional**) | Set the name of the output envfile. Defaults to `.env` |

`envkey_DEBUG`, `envkey_SOME_API_KEY` - String values
Assuming that the Github Secret that was used is `password123`, the .env file
that is created from the config above would contain:

```
DEBUG: false
SOME_API_KEY: "123456abcdef"
SECRET_KEY: password123
```

`envkey_SECRET_KEY` - A secret stored in the repository's Github Secrets
## Potential Issues

`some_other_variable` - Won't be used because it doesn't start with `envkey_`
### Warnings

`directory`(**Optional**) - This key will set the directory in which you want to create `env` file. (**Action will fail if the specified directory doesn't exist.**)
When the Action runs, it will show `Warning: Unexpected input(s) ...`. This is
because Github is expecing all the potential input variables to be defined by
the Action's definition. You can read more about it in [this
issue](https://github.com/SpicyPizza/create-envfile/issues/10).

`file_name`(**Optional**) - Set the name of the output envfile. Defaults to `.env`
