GitHub Actions - Configuration Variables

Are you tired of having to use secrets to store ALL your variable type values for GitHub Actions, even if the stuff isn't secret? I am too. Well guess what, we just released a beta of a solution for that problem, called configuration variables. Let's dive into that some.
Also, stick around till the end of the video, as I have a challenge for you....

Great video man, thanks, I've been waiting for this feature for ages

[@MickeyGousset]

Thank you!

7:26 - Thank you for mentioning the "vars" and "secrets" keywords for accessing the variables. I come from Azure Pipelines and there is no such thing as "context" over there for env vars. You simply access the vars as $MY_VAR whether it's secret or not in the YAML, so GitHub Actions kinda threw me off a bit. Good video.

Great video! although I need one more piece of this puzzle:
How can we update the value for these from an action? Think, a flag that controls some functionality...

[@MickeyGousset]

There are APIs you can use for this.

[@user-rb4vb1nv7t]

thank you for this video!
Do u know if there is a way to edit configuration variable values inside the workflow itself?

[@MickeyGousset]

Yes you can!
