You can define a GitHub target to be used with GitHub Dynamic Secret.

Create a GitHub Target in the CLI

To create a GitHub target from the CLI, run the following command:

akeyless target create github \
--name <target name> \
--github-app-id <Github application ID> \
--github-app-private-key <Github application private key (base64-encoded key)> \
--github-base-url https://api.github.com

Where:

• name: A unique name of the target. The name can include the path to the virtual folder where you want to create the new target, using slash / separators. If the folder does not exist, it will be created together with the target.

• github-app-id: Provide the username of the Docker repository user with privileges to create temporary access tokens.

• github-app-private-key: The GitHub application private key.

• github-base-url: Provide the GitHub base URL, default is https://api.github.com/.

You can find the complete list of parameters for this command in the CLI Reference - Akeyless Targets section.
