Allow adding/pasting multiple actions/repository secrets

In line with other providers like Vercel and CloudFlare, It would be very helpful to change the secret creation UI to allow adding multiple secrets in one go vs one at a time. This gets very laborious if you, like I did today, have to add 10+ secrets.

My suggestion would be to implement something like the previously mentioned where you can paste the contents of a .env file to automatically fill in multiple secrets. This would probably mean not having a separate page for adding a secret and instead do them inline with the editing interface.

An added side effect will also make editing a secret faster too so you don't have to navigate to a new page just to change a secret.

Totally agree — adding secrets one by one is tedious.

I made a simple tool called EnvSeeder that reads a .env file and pushes all keys to GitHub Actions Secrets in one go via CLI.

Until GitHub supports bulk editing natively, this helps streamline the process.
