@iamhopaul123 sorry to ping you, but I have this PR open for a long time... Is this action still maintained by AWS or should I keep using my fork with this fix? Thanks

@iamhopaul123 I just fixed the conflicts on this PR. Also noticed you merged #284 3 days ago. Is thera anything missing on this PR? Would love to see it merged, since I've been using my fork for more than 1 year now because I really need to set the environmentFiles on the task. Thanks in advance.

Would be great to have this as it greatly improves upon how easily env vars can be populated in bulk within CICD workflows.

nice, now I have conflicts again... @iamhopaul123 @clareliguori @Lou1415926 anyone from AWS please answer... this github action is used by 26.9k users according to github stats and seems there's multiple users interested in having the env-files as input on the github action. What's blocking this PR to be merged? I can fix the conflicts again, but can you guarantee that this will be merged afterwards? Otherwise I'll just be wasting my time again 🤷‍♂️ Thank you.
