Name: hmarr/debug-action
Print the environment variables and the event payload. Useful for developing or debugging GitHub Actions.
Secrets are automatically filtered in the Actions logs.
Important: use v3.0.0 or later, as v1 was designed for the initial GitHub Actions beta and no longer works as expected, and v2 uses node16, which has now been deprecated.
Usage instructions

Development and release process
Each major version corresponds to a branch (e.g. v1, v2). The latest major
version (v3 at the time of writing) is the repository's default branch.
Releases are tagged with semver-style version numbers (e.g. v1.2.3).
