The workflows in this repository use the CI_CUSTOMIZATIONS_* namespace for GitHub Actions configuration variables that opt an alternative synchronized repository into repository-specific CI behavior. This keeps the workflow logic shared without hard-coding the names of private repositories into the public source tree.

These variables are non-secret strings configured under Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions > Variables. An unset variable, or any value other than the literal string true, leaves the customization disabled. Do not store credentials or other secret values in these variables.

The canonical NVIDIA/cuda-python repository does not need this variable because its standard workflow behavior is enabled directly. Before enabling a customization elsewhere, document the repository-specific prerequisites and verification procedure in that repository's own documentation.
