# Load Secrets from 1Password - GitHub Action
The action to load secrets from [1Password Connect](https://1password.com/secrets/) into GitHub Actions.
This action loads secrets from [1Password Connect](https://1password.com/secrets/) into GitHub Actions.
Specify right from your workflow YAML which secrets from 1Password should be loaded into your job, and the action will make them available as environment variables for the next steps.
## Prerequisites
- [1Password Connect](https://support.1password.com/secrets-automation/#step-2-deploy-a-1password-connect-server) deployed in your infrastructure
## Usage
There are two ways that secrets can be loaded:
- [use the secrets from the action's ouput](#use-secrets-from-the-actions-output)
- [export secrets as environment variables](#export-secrets-as-environment-variables)
### Use secrets from the action's output
This approach enables the user to use the loaded secrets as an output from the step: `steps.step-id.outputs.secret-name`. You need to set an id for the step that uses this action to be able to access its outputs. More details about the metadata syntax [here](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/metadata-syntax-for-github-actions#outputsoutput_id).
```yml

jobs:
hello-world:

- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Load secret
id: op-load-secret

env:
OP_CONNECT_HOST: <Your Connect instance URL>
OP_CONNECT_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.OP_CONNECT_TOKEN }}
SECRET: op://app-cicd/hello-world/secret
- name: Print masked secret
run: echo "Secret: ${{ steps.op-load-secret.outputs.SECRET }}"
# Prints: Secret: ***

# every single step in the job would then be able to access the token.

## Masking
Similar to regular GitHub repository secrets, secret fields from 1Password will automatically be masked from the GitHub Actions logs too.
A 1Password field is considered 'secret' when it's marked as concealed (which shows as `•••••••` in the 1Password GUI) or when it's a secure note.
Similar to regular GitHub repository secrets, fields from 1Password will automatically be masked from the GitHub Actions logs too.
So if one of these values accidentally gets printed, it'll get replaced with `***`.
This means that a username or port field for example will not get masked.
## 1Password Connect Configuration
To use the action, you need to have a [1Password Connect](https://support.1password.com/secrets-automation/#step-1-set-up-a-secrets-automation-workflow) instance deployed somewhere.

## Supported Runners
You can run the action on Linux and macOS runners. Windows is currently not supported.
## Security
1Password requests you practice responsible disclosure if you discover a vulnerability.
Please file requests via [**BugCrowd**](https://bugcrowd.com/agilebits).
