GitHub Exam GitHub-Actions Topic 4 Question 9 Discussion

Actual exam question for GitHub's GitHub-Actions exam
Question #: 9
Topic #: 4
[All GitHub-Actions Questions]

Your organization is managing secrets using GitHub encrypted secrets, including a secret named SuperSecret. As a developer, you need to create a version of that secret that contains a different value for use in a workflow that is scoped to a specific repository named MyRepo. How should you store the secret to access your specific version within your workflow?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

To scope a secret to a specific repository, you can create a new secret with a name like MyRepo_SuperSecret in the secrets section of the MyRepo repository's settings. This ensures that the secret is specific to that repository and can be used within its workflows.

I'm not sure, but I think creating a duplicate entry for SuperSecret in the encrypted secret store and specifying MyRepo as the scope could also work.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Creating a file in the .github/secrets folder seems a bit convoluted. I'd go with B or D.
