title: How to enable github action to access secret property file
body: <p>I was working on an android project where alot of sensitive api keys were involved. These keys were stored in a specific gradle property file which is ignored by git.</p>
  
  <pre><code>secret.properties
  apikey="938484738288274932228"
  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The question is how can I enable github actions to access this property file and the values inside it without pushing the file to git.</p>
  
  <p><em>already tried</em>
  - making a fallback property file with blank values ( but the values might be required for future tests )</p>
