How do I get all GitHub secrets into env variables for Actions to access (powershell in my case)?

I read some similar posts but none seem to answer this question. I can set individual GitHub secrets into environment variables in an Action if I know the name of the secret: env: PW_ID0007: "${{secrets.PW_ID0007}}" How can I expose all secrets as environment variables without knowing their names (either in bulk or some way to iterate through them and set them individually?)

There is a way to do that. Please check here

- name: view the secrets context
  shell: bash
  run: echo "$SECRETS_CONTEXT"
  env:
    SECRETS_CONTEXT: ${{ toJson(secrets) }}

In that way you will expose all secrets without knowing names:

And know what you need is go through this json using for instance jq and set them as env variable suing following syntax:

 echo "variable_name=variable_value" >> $GITHUB_ENV

I created an action exactly for that - takes all the secrets and exports them to environment variables.

An example would be:

- run: echo "Value of MY_SECRET1: $MY_SECRET1"
  env:
    MY_SECRET1: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET1 }}
    MY_SECRET2: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET2 }}
    MY_SECRET3: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET3 }}
    MY_SECRET4: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET4 }}
    MY_SECRET5: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET5 }}
    MY_SECRET6: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET6 }}
    ...

You could convert it to:

- uses: oNaiPs/secrets-to-env-action@v1
  with:
    secrets: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }}
- run: echo "Value of MY_SECRET1: $MY_SECRET1"
