Initial Solution

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
    - name: 'read each line of the  new env var file'
      ansible.builtin.set_fact:
        new_env: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.file', '/tmp/artifacts/.env')  | split }}"
   - name: 'replace any lines that match the env vars of the new file'
     ansible.builtin.lineinfile:
       path: /home/user/project/.env
       regexp: '^{{ service_name }}='
       line: "{{ item }}"
     check_mode: true
     diff: true
     vars:
       service_name: "{{ item.split('=')[0] }}"
     loop: "{{ new_env }}"

This works because I read the new env var file and split it based on = character. I use the first instance and call it service_name in a loop and tell lineinfile to replace the instance with the updated value.

I am open to better solutions but thought I would keep this solution if there isn’t any
