Is it possible to use this action without creating environments?

[jason-curtis]

I'm pretty confused about the whole GitHub deployments feature. The documentation seems to be mostly about generic GitHub Actions, and not specifically actions that register a deployment on GitHub. So thank you for creating this Action; its existence has helped clear some things up for me!

Right now I'm working in a private repository, owned by an organization, on the free plan. It seems like the deployments feature is enabled for this repository, since I have this UI on my PRs:

However, I can't actually create any environments because that feature isn't available on private repos: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/targeting-different-environments/using-environments-for-deployment#creating-an-environment

Is there a way to still register deployments without creating environments?
