Secret
======

We need a way to authenticate between GitHub and W4 Build, and that's where a secret comes into play. This secret will be included as part of the webhook, ensuring that we can verify the authenticity of the incoming request.

Let’s secure our connection!

Configuration
-------------

1. Click "Secrets" under the "SSH KEYS AND TOKENS" menu.
2. Click the "+ New Secret" button.
3. Type a secret name (e.g., "GitHub Incoming Webhook").
4. Click "Generate Random Secret."
5. Click "Copy Secret."

Don’t lose this secret; we will need it shortly on github
