How do i checkout a single folder / file from a remote repo using github actions

I'm using github actions runner on windows.

I tried the below to checkout only the scripts folder from remote repo called betech from branch mm365 inside the current-folder\betech; but it checks out the entire repo contents.

  - name: Checkout just the scripts folder
    uses: actions/checkout@v3
    with:
      repository: mytech/betech
      ref: mm365
      path: betech
      token: ${{ secrets.MYGITHUBTOKEN }}

  - name: Configure Sparse Checkout   
    run: |
      echo "scripts/*" >> .git/info.sparse-checkout
      git read-tree -mu HEAD
    working-directory: betech

    env:
      token: ${{ secrets.MYGITHUBTOKEN }}
      secrets: inherit 

here is the sparse file

cat betech\.git\info.sparse-checkout

scripts/*

Can you please suggest how I can checkout only the scripts folder or any single file [If the logic is comparatively different]

*** Update: ***
I tied the below answer and it works.

  - name: Checkout just the scripts folder
    uses: actions/checkout@v3
    with:
      repository: mytech/betech
      ref: mm365
      path: betech
      sparse-checkout: |
        scripts
      sparse-checkout-cone-mode: false
      token: ${{ secrets.MYGITHUBTOKEN }}

The checkout action documentation have few examples demonstrating how to fetch specific files.

> Fetch only the root files
>
> <pre>
> - uses: actions/checkout@v3
> with:
> sparse-checkout: . </pre>
>
> Fetch only the root files and .github and src folder
>
> - uses: actions/checkout@v3
> with:
> sparse-checkout: |
> .github
> src
>
> Fetch only a single file
>
> - uses: actions/checkout@v3
> with:
> sparse-checkout: |
> README.md
> sparse-checkout-cone-mode: false

You can also use checkout-files action to checkout only certain files and/or folders. This action uses Github REST API to download the repository content.

- name: Checkout files
  uses: Bhacaz/checkout-files@v2
  with:
   files: package.json

Here the files is a list of files with the path separated by a space, relative to root of your repository. This can also be a folder and the action will recursively pull all the files.
