Ability to use secrets for GH tokens. Example from traefik's chart:

          - name: CF_DNS_API_TOKEN
            valueFrom:
              secretKeyRef:

Research direction

Start by locating the Helm chart configuration for the GitHub token and compare it with the traefik example linked in the issue. Confirm how the chart currently supplies the token, then make the token configurable through Kubernetes secretKeyRef values; done means users can reference a secret without putting the token directly in chart values.
