    This resource allows you to create and manage GitHub Actions secrets within your GitHub repositories. You must have write access to a repository to use this resource.

    Secret values are encrypted using the Go ‘/crypto/box’ module which is interoperable with libsodium. Libsodium is used by GitHub to decrypt secret values.

    For the purposes of security, the contents of the value field have been marked as sensitive to Terraform, but it is important to note that this does not hide it from state files. You should treat state as sensitive always. It is also advised that you do not store plaintext values in your code but rather populate the valueEncrypted using fields from a resource, data source or variable as, while encrypted in state, these will be easily accessible in your code. See below for an example of this abstraction.

    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as github from "@pulumi/github";

const examplePlaintext = new github.ActionsSecret("example_plaintext", {
    repository: "example_repository",
    secretName: "example_secret_name",
    value: someSecretString,
});
const exampleEncrypted = new github.ActionsSecret("example_encrypted", {
    repository: "example_repository",
    secretName: "example_secret_name",
    valueEncrypted: someEncryptedSecretString,
});

    import pulumi
import pulumi_github as github

example_plaintext = github.ActionsSecret("example_plaintext",
    repository="example_repository",
    secret_name="example_secret_name",
    value=some_secret_string)
example_encrypted = github.ActionsSecret("example_encrypted",
    repository="example_repository",
    secret_name="example_secret_name",
    value_encrypted=some_encrypted_secret_string)

			Repository: pulumi.String("example_repository"),
			SecretName: pulumi.String("example_secret_name"),
			Value:      pulumi.Any(someSecretString),
		})
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}

    Example Lifecycle Ignore Changes

    This resource supports using the lifecycle ignoreChanges block on remoteUpdatedAt to support use cases where a secret value is created using a placeholder value and then modified after creation outside the scope of Terraform. This approach ensures only the initial placeholder value is referenced in your code and in the resulting state file.

    ActionsSecret Resource Properties

    To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Architecture and Concepts docs.

    Inputs

    In Python, inputs that are objects can be passed either as argument classes or as dictionary literals.

    The ActionsSecret resource accepts the following input properties:

    Repository string
    Name of the repository.
    SecretName string

    Import

    This resource can be imported using an ID made of the repository name, and secret name separated by a :.

    Note: When importing secrets, the value, valueEncrypted, encryptedValue, or plaintextValue fields will not be populated in the state. You may need to ignore changes for these as a workaround if you’re not planning on updating the secret through Terraform.

    Import Command

    The following command imports a GitHub actions secret named mysecret for the repo myrepo to a github.ActionsSecret resource named example.

    $ pulumi import github:index/actionsSecret:ActionsSecret example myrepo:mysecret
