Linter rejects .env.example file

[arianvp]

The super-linter says my .env.example file is invalid when it contains an environment variable with dashes:

INPUT_MY-EXAMPLE=3

however the dashes are required for local-action to work.

This is a bug

Can you link to an example where this occurs?

Now without the typo; but still doesn't pass lint:

Looks like in either case the delimiter is being flagged by dotenv-linter:

• INPUT-MY-INPUT
• INPUT_MY-INPUT

The expected behavior in the GitHub Actions runtime is to set environment variables by prefixing INPUT_ and converting to uppercase. However, any other dashes are left as-is, so the second one matches what GitHub Actions (and local-action) would expect.

Created #990 to disable this error when the linter runs on .env.example
