Codespaces user secrets

Lists all secrets available for a user's Codespaces without revealing their encrypted values.

You must authenticate using an access token with the codespace or codespace:secrets scope to use this endpoint. User must have Codespaces access to use this endpoint.

GitHub Apps must have read access to the codespaces_user_secrets user permission to use this endpoint.

Gets your public key, which you need to encrypt secrets. You need to encrypt a secret before you can create or update secrets.

You must authenticate using an access token with the codespace or codespace:secrets scope to use this endpoint. User must have Codespaces access to use this endpoint.

GitHub Apps must have read access to the codespaces_user_secrets user permission to use this endpoint.

Gets a secret available to a user's codespaces without revealing its encrypted value.

You must authenticate using an access token with the codespace or codespace:secrets scope to use this endpoint. User must have Codespaces access to use this endpoint.

GitHub Apps must have read access to the codespaces_user_secrets user permission to use this endpoint.

Creates or updates a secret for a user's codespace with an encrypted value. Encrypt your secret using LibSodium.

You must authenticate using an access token with the codespace or codespace:secrets scope to use this endpoint. User must also have Codespaces access to use this endpoint.

GitHub Apps must have read access to the codespaces_user_secrets user permission and codespaces_secrets repository permission on all referenced repositories to use this endpoint.

Example encrypting a secret using Node.js

Encrypt your secret using the tweetsodium library.

const sodium = require('tweetsodium');

const key = "base64-encoded-public-key";
const value = "plain-text-secret";

// Convert the message and key to Uint8Array's (Buffer implements that interface)
const messageBytes = Buffer.from(value);
const keyBytes = Buffer.from(key, 'base64');

// Encrypt using LibSodium.
const encryptedBytes = sodium.seal(messageBytes, keyBytes);

// Base64 the encrypted secret
const encrypted = Buffer.from(encryptedBytes).toString('base64');

console.log(encrypted);

Example encrypting a secret using Python

Encrypt your secret using pynacl with Python 3.

from base64 import b64encode
from nacl import encoding, public

def encrypt(public_key: str, secret_value: str) -> str:
  """Encrypt a Unicode string using the public key."""
  public_key = public.PublicKey(public_key.encode("utf-8"), encoding.Base64Encoder())
  sealed_box = public.SealedBox(public_key)
  encrypted = sealed_box.encrypt(secret_value.encode("utf-8"))
  return b64encode(encrypted).decode("utf-8")

Example encrypting a secret using C#

Encrypt your secret using the Sodium.Core package.

var secretValue = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("mySecret");
var publicKey = Convert.FromBase64String("2Sg8iYjAxxmI2LvUXpJjkYrMxURPc8r+dB7TJyvvcCU=");

var sealedPublicKeyBox = Sodium.SealedPublicKeyBox.Create(secretValue, publicKey);

Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToBase64String(sealedPublicKeyBox));

Example encrypting a secret using Ruby

Encrypt your secret using the rbnacl gem.

require "rbnacl"
require "base64"

key = Base64.decode64("+ZYvJDZMHUfBkJdyq5Zm9SKqeuBQ4sj+6sfjlH4CgG0=")
public_key = RbNaCl::PublicKey.new(key)

box = RbNaCl::Boxes::Sealed.from_public_key(public_key)
encrypted_secret = box.encrypt("my_secret")

# Print the base64 encoded secret
puts Base64.strict_encode64(encrypted_secret)

Deletes a secret from a user's codespaces using the secret name. Deleting the secret will remove access from all codespaces that were allowed to access the secret.

GitHub Apps must have write access to the codespaces_user_secrets user permission to use this endpoint.

List the repositories that have been granted the ability to use a user's codespace secret.

You must authenticate using an access token with the codespace or codespace:secrets scope to use this endpoint. User must have Codespaces access to use this endpoint.

GitHub Apps must have read access to the codespaces_user_secrets user permission and write access to the codespaces_secrets repository permission on all referenced repositories to use this endpoint.

Select the repositories that will use a user's codespace secret.

You must authenticate using an access token with the codespace or codespace:secrets scope to use this endpoint. User must have Codespaces access to use this endpoint.

GitHub Apps must have write access to the codespaces_user_secrets user permission and write access to the codespaces_secrets repository permission on all referenced repositories to use this endpoint.

Adds a repository to the selected repositories for a user's codespace secret. You must authenticate using an access token with the codespace or codespace:secrets scope to use this endpoint. User must have Codespaces access to use this endpoint. GitHub Apps must have write access to the codespaces_user_secrets user permission and write access to the codespaces_secrets repository permission on the referenced repository to use this endpoint.
