how to add/pass .env file using github action in firebase hosting

[Mohd Rashid]

Hi,

I want to add or run .env file in firebase using github action

here is what i did

.github/workflows/firebase-hosting-merge.yml

```
name: Deploy to Firebase Hosting on merge
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  build_and_deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout
      - run: npm ci && npm run build

      - name: Load environment variables from .env file
        run: |
          if [ -f .env ]; then
            export $(grep -v '^#' .env | xargs)
          fi
          cat .env
         
      - uses: FirebaseExtended/action-hosting-deploy
        with:
          repoToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          firebaseServiceAccount: ${{
            secrets.FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TEST_GOOGLE_PAGE }}
          channelId: live
          projectId: test-google-page
        env:
          FIREBASE_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.FIREBASE_TOKEN }}
```

This is repo of github code enter image description here

1. I have added .env in the root directory of github repo
2. Everything is working fine even .env file is reading from above action but when i dont know whether its reading .env file or not and deployed into firebase account

Here is output where i need to show .env values reflected or not enter image description here so its not reflecting the values which im looking

cat .env

VUE_APP_API_URL=http://test.devops.com:3002/api/v1/xxxxxxx/xxxx

3. actually values it need to show :- http://test.devops.com:3002/api/v1/xxxxxxx/xxxx
4. current values showing :- http://localhost:3002/api/v1/xxxxxxx/xxxx

even i read this docs 5. https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/config-env?gen=2nd#env-variables

But dont understand how to do

but in code of repo under subfolder i see this line

const apiEndpoint = process.env.SECURITY_AI_URL || "http://localhost:3002";

and i cannot change any code under repo of github because its client repo

please tell me what should i do to solve .env
