    This resource allows you to create and manage GitHub Actions variables within your GitHub repositories. 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 exampleVariable = new github.ActionsVariable("example_variable", {
        repository: "example_repository",
        variableName: "example_variable_name",
        value: "example_variable_value",
    });
    
    import pulumi
    import pulumi_github as github
    
    example_variable = github.ActionsVariable("example_variable",
        repository="example_repository",
        variable_name="example_variable_name",
        value="example_variable_value")
    
    package main
    
    import (
    	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-github/sdk/v6/go/github"
    	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"

    func main() {
    	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
    		_, err := github.NewActionsVariable(ctx, "example_variable", &github.ActionsVariableArgs{
    			Repository:   pulumi.String("example_repository"),
    			VariableName: pulumi.String("example_variable_name"),
    			Value:        pulumi.String("example_variable_value"),
    		})
    		if err != nil {
    			return err
