Set Environment variables

GHA_ENV

Basically, GitHub Actions default environment variables can't be changed.

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/environment-variables#naming-conventions-for-environment-variables

When you set a custom environment variable, you cannot use any of the default environment variable names. For a complete list of these, see "Default environment variables" below. If you attempt to override the value of one of these default environment variables, the assignment is ignored.

But you can change them in run steps.

Using GHA_ENV in run step, you can override GitHub Actions default environment variables.

e.g.

- run: |
    echo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" # CI Repository
    . "$GHA_ENV" # Override default environment variables GITHUB_*
    echo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" # Main Repository

This is useful to run tools that depend on GitHub Actions default environment variables.
