Python v3.6.7 and above
Install with pip on your machine; the package is available at PyPi
$ pip install githubsecrets
Expand/Collapse
Mount a local directory to root
, the image is available at DockerHub
The image runs as a CLI; you must provide arguments, since prompts are not available while running in a Docker container
Mount your home directory, or any other directory to save the credentials file
IMPORTANT: You must create the directory before mounting it, unless it's your home directory. The path must be absolute.
$ docker run --rm --mount type=bind,source="$HOME",target=/root unfor19/githubsecrets secret-list -p unfor19 -r githubsecrets
... # Output below
Output

and not \
IMPORTANT: You must create the directory before mounting it, unless it's your Temp directory. The path must be absolute.
$ docker run --rm --mount type=bind,source=c:/Temp,target=/root unfor19/githubsecrets secret-delete -p unfor19 -r githubsecrets -s testrepos
... # Output below
Output

"base_url": "https://api.github.com/repos/unfor19/githubsecrets",
"repository": "githubsecrets",
"secret_name": "testrepos",
"status_code": 204

Note: When using Docker, no need to add ghs
; supply only a command and its arguments
-
Initialize this application - Creates a credentials file at
~/.githubsecrets/credentials
$ ghs init
-
Generate a GitHub Personal-Access-Token with the following permssions:
- repo (all)
- admin:public_key > read:public_key
-
Save the token in a safe place; we'll use it in the next step
-
Create a profile, use the
-p
flag and supply a profile name$ ghs profile-apply -p willy_wonka ... SUCCESS: Applied the profile willy_wonka
You'll be prompted to insert:
- Github owner - which is your GitHub Organization or GitHub Account name (not email address)
- Personal access token - that you've created in the previous steps
-
Create a GitHub secret, use the
-r
flag and supply the repository's name. You can apply the same secret to multiple repositories at once, for example:-r "githubsecrets, aws-build-badges"
ghs secret-apply -p willy_wonka -r githubsecrets
You'll be prompted to insert:
- Secret name
- Secret value
-
Use it in your GitHub Actions Workflows
- Snippet
steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v2 - name: Set up Python uses: actions/setup-python@v1 with: python-version: "3.6" - name: Install dependencies run: | ... - name: Build and publish env: TWINE_USERNAME: ${{ secrets.PIP_USERNAME }} TWINE_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.PIP_PASSWORD }} ... run: | ...
- I'm using secrets in this repository, check out this repository's workflows

Report issues/questions/feature requests on the Issues section.
Pull requests are welcome! Ideally, create a feature branch and issue for every single change you make. These are the steps:
- Fork this repo
- Create your feature branch from master (
git checkout -b my-new-feature
) - Install from source
$ git clone https://github.com/${GITHUB_OWNER}/githubsecrets.git && cd githubsecrets ... $ pip install --upgrade pip ... $ python -m venv ./ENV $ . ./ENV/bin/activate ... $ (ENV) pip install --editable . ... # Done! Now when you run 'ghs' it will get automatically updated when you modify the code
- Add the code of your new feature
- Test - generate a Personal Access Token for testing
$ (ENV) bash test_functionality.sh -p PROFILE_NAME -o GITHUB_OWNER -t TEST_GITHUB_TOKEN -r GITHUB_REPOSITORY` ... # All good? Move on to the next step
- Commit your remarkable changes (
git commit -am 'Added new feature'
) - Push to the branch (
git push --set-up-stream origin my-new-feature
) - Create a new Pull Request and tell us about your changes
