@uditgaurav,
I think this is not work. if you are using GitHub-hosted runners in to run the job in your workflow, each job in the workflow executes in a fresh instance of the virtual machine. So, the system configurations (such as environment variables) you set in a job generally are not applicable to other jobs. If your projects really need the similar features, I recommend you directly report a feature request here. That will allow you to directly interact with the appropriate engineering team, and make it more convenient for the engineering team to collect and categorize your suggestions. |
