+        .SYNOPSIS
+        Exports a GitHub variable to the local environment.
+
+        .DESCRIPTION
+        This function takes a GitHub variable and sets it as an environment variable.
+        The variable can be exported to the Process, User, or Machine environment scope.
+
+        By default, the variable is exported to the Process scope, meaning it will persist only for the current session.
+
+        The function accepts pipeline input, allowing GitHub variables retrieved using `Get-GitHubVariable` to be exported seamlessly.
+
+        .EXAMPLE
+        Get-GitHubVariable -Owner 'octocat' -Repository 'Hello-World' -Environment 'staging' | Export-GitHubVariable
+
+        Exports the variables retrieved from the GitHub API to the local environment.
