Question

A workflow job in the 'payments-service' repository targets the 'production' environment. A secret named DEPLOY_TOKEN is defined at three levels with different values: at the organization level (scoped to selected repositories including this one), at the repository level, and at the 'production' environment level. When the job references ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_TOKEN }}, which value will be used?

Accepted Answer

The environment-level value, because environment secrets override repository and organization secrets with the same name

Answer

The organization-level value, because organization secrets always take highest precedence

Answer

The repository-level value, because repository secrets sit between organization and environment scopes and win ties

Answer

The workflow will fail because a secret with the same name cannot be defined at multiple levels
