# Demo

Environment variables and their scopes work as you'd expect in GitHub Actions.

They're also fairly self-contained, so any changes you make are isolated to the job you're in.

One thing that can cause confusion is the fact that environment variables defined within a step aren't accessible until the next step.

## Overview

- Read env vars

- Write env vars

- Pass env vars

- Modify PATH env var
