• Defining environment variables in GitHub Actions
• Storing secrets in GitHub repositories

1. Generate a new SSH key pair as a special deploy key. The simplest method is to generate a key pair with a blank passphrase, which creates an unencrypted private key.
2. Store your public and private keys in your GitHub repository as new 'Secrets' (under your repository settings), using the names WPENGINE_SSH_KEY_PRIVATE and WPENGINE_SSH_KEY_PUBLIC respectively. In theory, this replaces the need for encryption on the key itself, since GitHub repository secrets are encrypted by default.
3. Add the public key to your target WP Engine environment.
4. Per the WP Engine documentation, it takes about 30-45 minutes for the new SSH key to become active.
