How can I use contexts in GitHub Actions?

In GitHub Actions, contexts provide information about the workflow run, such as the event that triggered it, the repository, and more. You can access contexts using the syntax ${{ github.<context> }}.

Can you give me an example of using a context?

Sure! For instance, you can use ${{ github.event_name }} to get the name of the event that triggered the workflow, like 'push' or 'pull_request'.

What other contexts are available?

There are several contexts available, including github, env, job, steps, and runner. Each provides different information relevant to your workflow.

How do I pass context values to a job?

You can pass context values to a job by using the env keyword. For example, you can set an environment variable like this: env: MY_VAR: ${{ github.actor }}.
