Secrets
Secrets are similar to environment variables but encrypted. They can be created at two levels:
- Repository
- Organization
If secrets are created at the organization level, access policies can limit the repositories that can use them.
Creating secrets for a repository
To create secrets for a repository, you must be the repository's owner. From the repository Settings, choose Secrets, then New Secret.
