This action creates a secrets file (e.g. .env) by taking environment keys from github secrets.

uses: du5rte/create-secrets-file@v1
with:
  secrets: |
    API_KEY=${{ secrets.API_KEY }}
    SECRET_KEY=${{ secrets.SECRET_KEY }}
    DB_URI=${{ secrets.DB_URI }}
  # optionals
  # file: .env
  # mode: dotenv
  # path: src
