Summary
The text explores the use of GitHub Actions to manage environment variables in a CI/CD setup, distinguishing between GitHub Secrets for sensitive data and Variables for non-sensitive data. It focuses on the challenge of integrating variables into Nrwl's reusable workflows, which require environment variables in a specific dotenv format. To address this, a script using actions/github-script is employed to convert GitHub variables into the required format, enabling seamless integration with Nx Cloud workflows for CI operations without exposing sensitive information or relying on hardcoded values or .env files.
