GitHub Configure Secrets for Build Actions

Oscar D. Garcia edited this page May 31, 2023 · 1 revision

To configure secrets in your GitHub repository, follow these steps:

  • Go to your GitHub repository's page.

  • Click on the "Settings" tab.

  • In the left sidebar, click on "Secrets".

  • Click on the "New repository secret" button.

  • Enter the name and value for each secret. In this case, you will need to add two secrets: DOCKERHUB_USERNAME and DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD.

  • After entering the secret name and value, click on the "Add secret" button to save it.

  • Repeat the process to add the second secret.

Make sure to set the values of the secrets correctly:

  • For DOCKERHUB_USERNAME, enter your Docker Hub username.
  • For DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD, enter your Docker Hub password or a personal access token with appropriate permissions.

Once you have configured the secrets, you can reference them in your GitHub Actions workflow YAML file using the ${{ secrets.SECRET_NAME }} syntax. For example, ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }} and ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD }}.

By using secrets, you can securely store sensitive information without exposing it in your workflow file or repository.
