Secrets
Secrets allow you to store sensitive information in your user, organization or repository. Secrets are available on Gitea 1.19+ and are only visible in 1.20+ when ACTIONS are enabled
Naming your secrets
The following rules apply to secret names:
-
Secret names can only contain alphanumeric characters (
[a-z]
,[A-Z]
,[0-9]
) or underscores (_
). Spaces are not allowed. -
Secret names must not start with the
GITHUB_
andGITEA_
prefix. -
Secret names must not start with a number.
-
Secret names are not case-sensitive.
-
Secret names must be unique at the level they are created at.
For example, a secret created at the repository level must have a unique name in that repository, and a secret created at the organization level must have a unique name at that level.
If a secret with the same name exists at multiple levels, the secret at the lowest level takes precedence. For example, if an organization-level secret has the same name as a repository-level secret, then the repository-level secret takes precedence.
