# GitHub: create a repository secret for Actions — repo Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret

## Steps
1. Open the repository → "Settings" tab.
2. In the sidebar, under "Security", click "Secrets and variables", then "Actions".
3. On the "Secrets" tab, click "New repository secret".
4. Enter the secret's name and value, then click "Add secret".

## End state
The secret is listed by name (value hidden) on the Actions Secrets tab; a workflow referencing `secrets.<NAME>` can use it without exposing the value in logs.
