Masking data using secrets

There may be times when you need to use sensitive data, such as authentication credentials, in your workflows. Storing these values in plaintext anywhere in your repository should be avoided because anyone with access to the repository which contains the secret can see them. Similarly, these values shouldn't be used directly in any workflow definitions because they will be visible as files in your repository. With CodeCatalyst, you can protect these values by adding a secret to your project, and then referencing the secret in your workflow definition file. Note that you can have a maximum of five secrets per action.
