  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      
      - name: set environment variables
        uses: allenevans/set-env@v4.0.0
        with:
          MY_ENV_VAR: 'my value'

      - name: Printenv
        run: |
          echo "MY_ENV_VAR=${MY_ENV_VAR}"
          printenv

Notes:-

• You can set more than one variable at a time e.g.

    - name: set many environment variables
      uses: allenevans/set-env@v4.0.0
      with:
        VAR_A: abc
        VAR_B: def
        VAR_C: ghi

• Environment variable names are converted to UPPER_SNAKE_CASE by default e.g.

    myVar: abc => MYVAR=abc
    with space: abc => WITH_SPACE=abc
