Add-GitHubMask

SYNOPSIS

Masks a value in a log

SYNTAX

Add-GitHubMask [-Value] <String[]> [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Masking a value prevents a string or variable from being printed in the log. Each masked word separated by whitespace is replaced with the * character. You can use an environment variable or string for the mask's value. When you mask a value, it is treated as a secret and will be redacted on the runner. For example, after you mask a value, you won't be able to set that value as an output.
