Combining GitHub Secrets and Actions 

While searching for a CI/CD solution for a side project of mine, I discovered the GitHub Secrets feature. Using GitHub Actions, you can setup automated builds triggered in various customizable ways. If part of your automation pipeline includes deployment or delivery to a third-party, you’re probably going to be using some kind of authorization token. Common knowledge dictates that storing super secret authorization files in plain text is a big no-no, so in comes GitHub Secrets to save the day!

Structures describe what a logical group actually does, within the context of its Interface. The caveat is, Go does not support explicitly defining relationships between Interfaces and Structures.
