Sharing workflows, secrets, and runners with your organization

Overview

If you need to share workflows and other GitHub Actions features with your team, then consider collaborating within a GitHub organization. An organization allows you to centrally store and manage secrets, artifacts, and self-hosted runners. You can also create starter workflows in the .github repository and share them with other users in your organization.

Sharing workflows

Your organization can share workflows by reusing the workflows exactly or by creating starter workflows that provide templates for new workflows.

Using starter workflows

Os fluxos de trabalho iniciais permitem que todos na sua organização que tenham permissão para criar fluxos de trabalho façam isso com mais rapidez e facilidade. Ao criar um fluxo de trabalho, você pode escolher um fluxo de trabalho inicial, e uma parte ou todo o trabalho de escrever o fluxo de trabalho será feito para você. Você pode usar fluxos de trabalho iniciais como ponto de partida para criar seu fluxo de trabalho personalizado ou usá-los no estado em que se encontram. Isso não só poupa tempo, como promove consistência e práticas recomendadas na sua organização. For more information, see "Creating starter workflows for your organization."

Sharing secrets within an organization

You can centrally manage your secrets within an organization, and then make them available to selected repositories. This also means that you can update a secret in one location, and have the change apply to all repository workflows that use the secret.

When creating a secret in an organization, you can use a policy to limit which repositories can access that secret. For example, you can grant access to all repositories, or limit access to only private repositories or a specified list of repositories.

Para criar segredos no nível da organização, você precisa ter acesso de admin.

1. On your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, navigate to the main page of the organization.

2. No nome da sua organização, clique em Configurações.

3. In the left sidebar, click Secrets.

4. Click New secret.

5. Type a name for your secret in the Name input box.

6. Enter the Value for your secret.

7. From the Repository access dropdown list, choose an access policy.

8. Click Add secret.

Share self-hosted runners within an organization

Organization admins can add their self-hosted runners to groups, and then create policies that control which repositories can access the group.

For more information, see "Managing access to self-hosted runners using groups."
