Infisical Secrets Action

This GitHub Action enables you to import secrets from Infisical—whether hosted in the cloud or self-hosted—directly into your GitHub workflows.

Configuration

• In order to use this, you will need to configure a Machine Identity for your project.
• This action supports two ways to authenticate your workflows with Infisical - universal auth and OIDC.

Universal Auth

• Configure a machine identity to have an auth method of "Universal Auth".
• Get the machine identity's client_id and client_secret and store them as Github secrets (recommended) or environment variables.
• Set the client-id and client-secret input parameters.

OIDC Auth

• Configure a machine identity to use the "OIDC Auth" method. Set the bound audience, bound subject, and bound claims as needed for your setup.
• Get the machine identity's ID.
• Set method to oidc and configure the identity-id input parameter. Optionally, customize the JWT's aud field by setting the oidc-audience input parameter.

Usage

With this action, you can use your Infisical secrets in two ways: as environment variables or as a file.

As environment variables

Secrets are injected as environment variables and can be referenced by subsequent workflow steps.

- uses: Infisical/[email protected]
  with:
    client-id: ${{ secrets.MACHINE_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID }} # Update this to your own Github references
    client-secret: ${{ secrets.MACHINE_IDENTITY_CLIENT_SECRET }} # Update this to your own Github references
    env-slug: "dev"
    project-slug: "example-project-r-i3x"

As a file

Exports secrets to a file in your GITHUB_WORKSPACE, useful for applications that read from .env files.

- uses: Infisical/[email protected]
  with:
    client-id: ${{ secrets.MACHINE_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID }} # Update this to your own Github references
    client-secret: ${{ secrets.MACHINE_IDENTITY_CLIENT_SECRET }} # Update this to your own Github references
    env-slug: "dev"
    project-slug: "example-project-r-i3x"
    export-type: "file"
    file-output-path: "/src/.env" # defaults to "/.env"

Note: Make sure to configure an actions/checkout step before using this action in file export mode
