NAME

       gh-secret-set - Create or update secrets

SYNOPSIS

       gh secret set <secret-name> [flags]

DESCRIPTION

       Set a value for a secret on one of the following levels: - repository (default): available
       to Actions runs or Dependabot in a repository - environment: available to Actions runs for
       a  deployment  environment  in  a  repository - organization: available to Actions runs or
       Dependabot within an organization - user: available to Codespaces for your user

       Organization and user secrets can  optionally  be  restricted  to  only  be  available  to
       specific repositories.

       Secret values are locally encrypted before being sent to GitHub.
