Description
[Github environments ](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/targeting-different-environments/using-environments-for-deployment)can have different environment secrets.
Is it possible to use these environments (and their secrets) with firebase deploy preview channels, or are environments not relevant for firebase preview channels?
I'm trying to use environment secrets (inside a preview channel deploy) from those environments, but not sure if I'm supposed to edit the yaml action file somehow. I'm trying to put secrets into github environments using the [dotnev-vault](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv/tree/master#-manage-multiple-environments) solution. Or if there's a better approach to load different environment secrets.

Research direction
The issue does not name a file, test, or specific entry point, but it mentions the YAML action file and GitHub Environments. Start by reviewing the action workflow configuration and its handling of Firebase preview-channel deploys; done means documenting whether environment-scoped secrets are supported and, if so, the required configuration.
