GitHub Action
Print Workflow Dispatch Inputs and Env Vars
This GitHub Action prints all input values from a workflow_dispatch
event to the log. Optionally, it can also print all environment variables. It's a simple and effective tool for debugging or verifying input values and environment settings in your manually triggered workflows.
- Prints all
workflow_dispatch
inputs to the log - Optionally prints all environment variables
- Minimal configuration required
- Doesn't require a GitHub token
- Lightweight and fast
To use this action in your workflow, add it as a step in your workflow_dispatch
triggered workflow:
name: Print Inputs and Env Vars Example

- name: Print Workflow Dispatch Inputs and Env Vars
uses: shayki5/print-workflow-dispatch-inputs@v1
with:
print_env_vars: 'true' # Set to 'true' to print environment variables
When you manually trigger this workflow and provide values for the inputs, the action will print these input values to the log. If print_env_vars
is set to 'true', it will also print all environment variables.
Input | Description | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|
print_env_vars |
Whether to print environment variables | No | 'false' |
This action reads the event payload from the GITHUB_EVENT_PATH
environment variable, which is automatically set by GitHub Actions. It then uses jq
to extract and print the input values. If print_env_vars
is set to 'true', it also prints all environment variables using the env
command.
This action is designed to work with workflow_dispatch
events. It will not print inputs for other event types, but can still print environment variables if enabled.
