Describe the bug

It appears that the GITHUB_ prefix is no longer allowed for secrets in GitHub Actions. This restriction causes issues when trying to use secrets with names that start with GITHUB_.

To address this, the following steps are necessary:

  1. Identify all existing secrets with the GITHUB_ prefix.
  2. Rename those secrets to remove or replace the prefix.
  3. Update workflows and configurations to use the new secret names.

This issue impacts workflows that rely on secrets such as GITHUB_TOKEN or custom secrets prefixed with GITHUB_. A fix is required to ensure compatibility with the latest GitHub Actions behavior.

To Reproduce

  1. Settings
  2. Security > Secrets and variables > Actions
  3. input GITHUB_APP_ID

Expected behavior

Secret names must not start with GITHUB_.
