Example usage

# File: .github/workflows/workflow.yml
on: [push]

name: example

jobs:

  devflow:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    
    - uses: okteto/login@latest
      with:
        token: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_TOKEN }}
    
    - uses: okteto/namespace@latest
      with:
        name: cindylopez

Advanced usage

Custom Certification Authorities or Self-signed certificates

You can specify a custom certificate authority or a self-signed certificate by setting the OKTETO_CA_CERT environment variable. When this variable is set, the action will install the certificate in the container, and then execute the action.

Use this option if you're using a private Certificate Authority or a self-signed certificate in your Okteto Enterprise instance. We recommend that you store the certificate as an encrypted secret, and that you define the environment variable for the entire job, instead of doing it on every step.

# File: .github/workflows/workflow.yml
on: [push]

name: example

jobs:
  devflow:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      OKTETO_CA_CERT: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_CA_CERT }}
    steps:
    
    - uses: okteto/login@latest
      with:
        token: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_TOKEN }}
    
    - uses: okteto/namespace@latest
      with:
        name: cindylopez
