title: Keep a password and API secret hidden on a public Github repo
body: <p>I have a small Python project I want to make public on my Github profile, but I have an Instagram account's username and password hard-coded in, as well as an API secret. I want to find a way to keep those hidden from the public, but still share the rest of my code.</p>
  <p>My main problem is that I am using Github actions to schedule when my program should run, so I need to have the password available to Github actions. This may be a misunderstanding on my part, but the solutions I've already seen seem to rely on keeping the password local on my machine and not placing them in the repo, but I'm not sure if that could work with Github actions.</p>
  <p>I am still learning, so if there is a more fundamental problem with my approach to this, please let me know.</p>
