How to export environment variables from Bitbucket Pipelines?

Question

Command line

In Bitbucket, it is possible to add environment variables for pipelines, and inside the pipeline, these environment variables are available. From the pipeline, I run my docker containers, which use the .env file. At the moment, I am generating an env file using the command echo VARIABLE=$VARIABLE >> .env, but this approach greatly bloats the file with pipelines.
Is there any universal (correct) solution for dumping variables into an .env file, or for using them quickly in conjunction with docker-compose?

Thank you all in advance for your replies.

Perhaps there is something more elegant, but you can reduce your method to one line
env > .env
