Prerequisites:
  • Set up and add secrets to Infisical Cloud
  • Create a GitHub Connection
  • Ensure your network security policies allow incoming requests from Infisical to this secret sync provider, if network restrictions apply.
  1. Navigate to Project > Integrations and select the Secret Syncs tab. Click on the Add Sync button. Secret Syncs Tab
  2. Select the GitHub option. Select GitHub
  3. Configure the Source from where secrets should be retrieved, then click Next. Configure Source
    • Environment: The project environment to retrieve secrets from.
    • Secret Path: The folder path to retrieve secrets from.
If you need to sync secrets from multiple folder locations, check out secret imports.
  1. Configure the Destination to where secrets should be deployed, then click Next. Configure Destination
    • GitHub Connection: The GitHub Connection to authenticate with.
    • Scope: The GitHub secret scope to sync secrets to.
      • Organization: Sync secrets to a specific organization.
      • Repository: Sync secrets to a specific repository.
      • Repository Environment: Sync secrets to a specific repository’s environment.

    The remaining fields are determined by the selected Scope:
  2. Configure the Sync Options to specify how secrets should be synced, then click Next. Configure Options
    • Initial Sync Behavior: Determines how Infisical should resolve the initial sync.
      • Overwrite Destination Secrets: Removes any secrets at the destination endpoint not present in Infisical.
      GitHub does not support importing secrets.
    • Key Schema: Template that determines how secret names are transformed when syncing, using {{secretKey}} as a placeholder for the original secret name and {{environment}} for the environment.
    We highly recommend using a Key Schema to ensure that Infisical only manages the specific keys you intend, keeping everything else untouched.
    • Auto-Sync Enabled: If enabled, secrets will automatically be synced from the source location when changes occur. Disable to enforce manual syncing only.
    • Disable Secret Deletion: If enabled, Infisical will not remove secrets from the sync destination. Enable this option if you intend to manage some secrets manually outside of Infisical.
  3. Configure the Details of your GitHub Sync, then click Next. Configure Details
    • Name: The name of your sync. Must be slug-friendly.
    • Description: An optional description for your sync.
  4. Review your GitHub Sync configuration, then click Create Sync. Confirm Configuration
  5. If enabled, your GitHub Sync will begin syncing your secrets to the destination endpoint. Sync Secrets
