gh-secret-set: Set a secret from a file for the current repository.

$ gh secret set ${name} < ${filename}

try on your machine

This command is likely used in a context where the gh command-line tool is being used.

The gh command is used to interact with GitHub from the command line. In this case, the secret set subcommand is being used.

gh handles secrets, which are sensitive information like access tokens or credentials. You can use secrets within GitHub Actions workflows or other GitHub-related operations.

In the given command, ${name} and ${filename} are placeholders for variables that should be replaced with actual values specific to your use case.

${name} refers to the name of the secret you want to set. You should replace it with the desired name for your secret.

${filename} refers to the path or name of the file from which you want to import the secret. The < symbol is used for input redirection, allowing the contents of the file to be passed as input to the command.

Therefore, the command gh secret set ${name} < ${filename} sets a secret in GitHub using the gh command-line tool, where ${name} is the name of the secret, and ${filename} is the file containing the value for the secret.
