Debug Action

Prints comprehensive debug information about the GitHub Actions runner environment, contexts, environment variables, and PowerShell state.

Caution

This action exposes environment variables and contexts, which may include sensitive information or secrets. GitHub attempts to mask secrets in logs, but if a secret contains newlines (common with private keys) due to PowerShell's formatting, GitHub masking may fail and inadvertently expose the secret.

Usage

Inputs

This action does not currently require any inputs.

Secrets

This action does not explicitly require secrets but may display environment variables or contexts containing sensitive information. Use with caution.

Outputs

This action does not provide outputs.

Example
