buildkite-agent secret

The buildkite-agent secret command allows you to query and retrieve secrets from Buildkite secrets storage. This command is useful for fetching secrets that are required by your build scripts, without having to configure third-party secret management systems.

Getting a secret

Usage

buildkite-agent secret get [key] [options...]

Description

Gets a secret from Buildkite secrets and prints it to stdout. The key specified in this command is the key's name defined for the secret in its cluster. The key's name is case insensitive in this command, and the key's value is automatically redacted in the build logs.

$ buildkite-agent secret get deploy_key
$ buildkite-agent secret get DEPLOY_KEY
