    This resource allows you to create and manage GitHub Actions variables within your GitHub repository environments. You must have write access to a repository to use this resource.

    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as github from "@pulumi/github";

const example = new github.ActionsEnvironmentVariable("example", {
    repository: "example-repo",
    environment: "example-environment",
    variableName: "example_variable_name",
    value: "example-value",
});

    import pulumi
import pulumi_github as github

example = github.ActionsEnvironmentVariable("example",
    repository="example-repo",
    environment="example-environment",
    variable_name="example_variable_name",
    value="example-value")

    package main
