Summary

Organization secrets enhance security and efficiency by allowing sensitive information, such as access tokens, to be stored and managed at the organization level within repositories. This system reduces manual duplication and the risk of workflow failures due to outdated secrets by enabling easy sharing, updating, and automatic synchronization across multiple repositories. Organization admins can control which repositories have access to these secrets and update them as needed, ensuring seamless management. Additionally, the GitHub Actions API now supports organization secrets, facilitating the integration of automated provisioning processes for both public and private repositories within organizations on specific GitHub plans.
