How to inject all Github environment-specific variables from vars to env context?

Question

Environment variables from GitHub Environments are available in the vars context.

Sometimes you could have 5-6 variables in the vars context, and you would like to have them injected into the env context to use them in the steps. Is there an automated or easy way?

You can do it like this with toJSON and jq:

- name: Set vars to env
  env:
    VARS_JSON: ${{ toJSON(vars) }}
  run: |
    echo "$VARS_JSON" | jq -r 'keys[] as $k | "\($k)=\(.[$k])"' >> $GITHUB_ENV

- name: Check env vars
  run: |
    echo "VAR1=$VAR1"
    echo "VAR2=$VAR2"

Sample ouptut:

vars_to_env
