• New: Store file as a secret.

  If you want to store a file (multiline, binary...) as a secret, first encode it with base64:

  base64 -i < {{ file_path }} | tr -d '\n' | xclip -i -selection clipboard
  

  Then paste it to a new secret. To restore the file diring the workflow, add:

  - name: restore file
    run: echo ${{ secrets.SECRET }} | base64 -d > {{ file_path }}
