github-repo-secrets-manager

Manage github repo secrets using a common configuration file. Supports repos, orgs and groups of secrets.

Installation

git clone rewindio/github-repo-secrets-manager
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Prerequistes

• A Github Personal Access Token (PAT) that has repo and admin:org scopes

To update Org-wide secrets, you need to have permissions to edit the secrets at the Org level. Repository secrets can be updated without this access.

Usage

usage: github-secrets-manager.py [-h] --secrets-file SECRETS_FILENAME
                                 --github-pat GITHUB_PAT [--verbose]
                                 [--repos REPOS_FILTER] [--dryrun]

Synchronize secrets with github repos

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --secrets-file SECRETS_FILENAME
                        Secrets file
  --github-pat GITHUB_PAT
                        Github access token
  --verbose             Turn on DEBUG logging
  --repos REPOS_FILTER  Comma separated list of repos to be updated
  --dryrun              Do a dryrun - no changes will be performed

./github-secrets-manager.py --secrets-file github_secrets.yaml --github-pat 123456789

Notes

• You must be a GitHub Organization admin if you try to apply organization level secrets, or you will see errors. The script will continue and other changes will work as intended.
• The --repos option acts only as a filter when processing the secrets file.
• The repos must be defined in the secrets file to be updated
