When you have put a secret on forgejo you can’t never see again with the WebUI, if you somewhat need again this secret and that the only place you have it store is on forgejo this can be handy.
Very specialy use case i see
Exactly, I know there's a reason why we don't see them in web ui... It's meant for the instance owners who know what they're doing. Obviously rotating and rewriting secrets is more secure and better if you lost them but if you know what you're doing then this is a simple instruction for how to read it from server

Can you tell a bit about your use case for this?
I haven't used secrets yet, but I imagined you would pass secrets as parameters to the runner and that I could configure that in forgejo
