[![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/nicklasfrahm/file-secret-action)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/nicklasfrahm/file-secret-action)

[![container](https://github.com/nicklasfrahm/file-secret-action/actions/workflows/container.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://github.com/nicklasfrahm/file-secret-action/actions/workflows/container.yml)

A [GitHub Action](https://github.com/features/actions) 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:

```yaml

...

      - 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

```yaml

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

```

## Input variables

See [action.yml](./action.yml) for more detailed information.

* `token` - personal access token with the `workflow` permission, the standard `GITHUB_TOKEN` does not work

* `scope` - name of the organisation or username and repository

* `secret` - name of the secret

* `file` - file to be stored in secret

* `visibility` - visibility of the secret within the organization, currently only _private_ and _all_ are supported
