Base64 to File

Use this action if you need to get a file from a base64-encoded string that you may be storing in Secrets or elsewhere. This can be useful for certificate signing and storing the base64 cert in the Secrets.

Usage

- name: Run Workflow
  id: write_file
  uses: timheuer/base64-to-file@v1
  with:
    fileName: 'myTemporaryFile.txt'
    encodedString: ${{ secrets.SOME_ENCODED_STRING }}

Using the file in a later step

The Action has an output variable named filePath that you can use as this file is written to TEMP. Make sure you ad an id to your step when using this Action so that you can easily pull it out of the steps context later.
