The secret to put Github webhook secret is I think automatically created when ArgoCD Capability is enabled e.g.:
```
apiVersion: v1
data:
webhook.azuredevops.password: ""
webhook.azuredevops.username: ""
webhook.bitbucket.uuid: ""
webhook.bitbucketserver.secret: ""
webhook.github.secret: ""
webhook.gitlab.secret: ""
webhook.gogs.secret: ""
kind: Secret
metadata:
creationTimestamp: "2026-08-20T08:46:08Z"
labels:
argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: webhook
name: argocd-webhook-creds-secret
namespace: argocd
resourceVersion: "555756101"
uid: 1ef7c836-fefe-43c6-ab11-faf436f7ba4e
type: Opaque
```
should I just own/overwrite it with the actual secret value? or what other mechanism there is to tell ArgoCD Capability to use a particular value?
I went through: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/argocd-configure-repositories.html
but there's no mention of webhook Secret.
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
Polling works ofc, or manual refresh/sync.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked EKS documentation for configuring Argo CD repositories and compare it with the generated argocd-webhook-creds-secret shown in the issue. Determine the supported configuration path for a GitHub webhook secret; done means users can provide a specific value and the behavior is documented.
