🔑 File to Secret for GitHub Actions (deprecated)

A GitHub Action to upload a file as a GitHub Actions Secret.

Deprecation notice

This repository is deprecated. I recommend to use the Github CLI instead and set up the following step:

...
      - name: Upload kubeconfig as pipeline secret
        run: |
          echo ${{ secrets.PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN }} | gh auth login --with-token
          gh secret set KUBECONFIG -r ${{ github.repository }} -e ${{ env.ENVIRONMENT }} < kubeconfig.yml
...

Usage

name: file-secret

on:
  - push

jobs:
  file-secret:
    name: File Secret
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Check out repository
        uses: actions/checkout@master

      - name: Upload kubeconfig
        uses: nicklasfrahm/file-secret-action@main
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.PAT }}
          scope: ${{ github.repository }}
          secret: KUBECONFIG
          file: kubeconfig.yml
