Description
Description
Secrets that I need to provide are present as exported environment variables on the build server.
Rather than having to create files on the build server (and thus risk the secrets being left behind on the build server), I would like to specify the secret directly in the command line like:
docker build --no-cache --progress=plain --secret id=mysecret,value=${GITLAB_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE} .

Research direction
Start at the Docker CLI build command and reproduce the documented --secret invocation from the issue. Trace how the existing secret options are parsed and passed onward, then verify that a value supplied directly on the command line is accepted without requiring a file. The issue does not name specific source files or tests.
