The env context refers to environment variables. You can set them in the workflow file, or dynamically by writing to a special file. For details, see:

Environment variables - GitHub Docs

//docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/environment-variables

Tnx

setting directly in workflow.yml makes more sense to me "

TOC_TITLE: ${{ env.TOC_TITLE }} -> TOC_TITLE: “My TOC Title”

But ‘writing to a special file’ doesn’t make sense to me; even after reading the linked GitHub Doc.

I know I can set secrets and environment options on each repo, but I’m not sure where env.TOC_TITLE should point to!?

for instance when I look at :

technote-space/toc-generator/blob/e0f463cec3ba22c686e5af432516bddc0c094dc4/.github/workflows/toc.yml

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize, reopened, closed]
name: TOC Generator
jobs:

toc:

if: github.event.pull_request.head.user.id == github.event.pull_request.base.user.id

name: TOC Generator

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

timeout-minutes: 3

steps:

- uses: technote-space/load-config-action@v1

with:

CONFIG_FILENAME: workflow-settings.json, workflow-details.json

IGNORE_WARNING: 'true'

- uses: technote-space/toc-generator@gh-actions

with:

GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.ACCESS_TOKEN }}

This file has been truncated. show original

I see many ${{ env.somestyff) references and I’m trying to understand where to put those values!

I’m a bit new to this but i’m starting to see it.
The values are derived from workflow-settings.json / workflow-details.json inside this folder.

I found an interesting series about GitHub Actions including the env part on Dev.to to get me started.

Tnx again for your help!
