github-update-secret

This CLI tool allows you to update the value of a GitHub Secret on multiple repositories at once. This is useful if you're using a user account and not an org, as users do not have the concept of user level secrets

How it works

• Fetch a list of all repos to which the authenticated user has admin access for the provided user/org
• Fetch the list of secrets on each repository
• For each repository that has a secret named the same as the provided SECRET_NAME, update the value of that secret
• Check if the provided target is an organisation.
• If so:
  • Check if there is an org secret named SECRET_NAME
  • If there is, update the value

Usage

DEBUG=github-update-secret npx github-update-secret <user/org> <SECRET_NAME> <new_value>

Any repos that you do not have admin access to will be skipped, as will forks, templates and archived repos.
