Hello,
Is it possible to configure gradle to use `local.properties` (or other file) instead of `gradle.properties` (root or project) when looking for <https://docs.gradle.org/current/samples/sample_publishing_credentials.html|credentials> to publish to maven? My question comes from <https://github.com/vanniktech/gradle-maven-publish-plugin/issues/459|here>, *vanniktech* <https://github.com/vanniktech/gradle-maven-publish-plugin/|gradle-plugin> (which fetches credentials <https://github.com/vanniktech/gradle-maven-publish-plugin/blob/8508ca995319b8dcdc447d0a3893244aa5e606a4/plugin/src/main/kotlin/com/vanniktech/maven/publish/MavenPublishBaseExtension.kt#L58|here>).

No, unless you read the file yourself
See: <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/12283|https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/12283>

Alternative you could use your ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file (or passing the properties as arguments/env)

I would prefer to have it under a `local.properties` by project instead of having it in a “global” one. It’s true that this values don’t change much (specially maven username/pwd) but others might. In the end it’s not critical (it’s my OCD :stuck_out_tongue: asking for a friend), I can use CI to publish it, it’s safer actually.
