An environment variable is a dynamic-named value that can affect the way running processes will behave on a computer.

When running on your local machine there are few ways to use it:

• run in terminal:

	export MY_ENVIROMENT_VARIABLE = some_value

• add to your bashrc file - your bash config file:

export MY_ENVIROMENT_VARIABLE = some_value

Add workflow file

1. Go to project and a directory .github in the root.
2. Inside it, create another directory called workflows (This is where all the GitHub Actions configuration files go).

4. Open it and add next code:

name: "CI Workflow"
on: [push]
	
jobs: 
  build: 
    name: "Build project"
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps: 
      - name: "Checkout current repository in ubuntu's file system"
        uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - name: "Setup JDK 1.8"
        uses: actions/setup-java@v1
        with: 
          java-version: 1.8
      - name: "Builds debug build"
