# cache
|
|
|
|
This GitHub Action allows caching dependencies and build outputs to improve workflow execution time.
|
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/actions/cache"><img alt="GitHub Actions status" src="https://github.com/actions/cache/workflows/Tests/badge.svg"></a>
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Pre-requisites
|
|
Create a workflow `.yml` file in your repositories `.github/workflows` directory. An [example workflow](#example-workflow) is available below. For more information, reference the GitHub Help Documentation for [Creating a workflow file](https://help.github.com/en/articles/configuring-a-workflow#creating-a-workflow-file).
|
|
|
|
### Inputs
|
|
|
|
* `path` - A directory to store and save the cache
|
|
* `key` - An explicit key for restoring and saving the cache
|
|
* `restore-keys` - An ordered list of keys to use for restoring the cache if no cache hit occurred for key
|
|
|
|
### Outputs
|
|
|
|
* `cache-hit` - A boolean value to indicate an exact match was found for the key
|
|
|
|
> See [Skipping steps based on cache-hit](#Skipping-steps-based-on-cache-hit) for info on using this output
|
|
|
|
### Example workflow
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
name: Example Caching with npm
|
|
|
|
on: push
|
|
|
|
jobs:
|
|
build:
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
|
|
|
|
- name: Cache node modules
|
|
uses: actions/cache@preview
|
|
with:
|
|
path: node_modules
|
|
key: ${{ runner.os }}-node-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}
|
|
restore-keys: |
|
|
${{ runner.os }}-node-
|
|
|
|
- name: Install Dependencies
|
|
run: npm install
|
|
|
|
- name: Build
|
|
run: npm run build
|
|
|
|
- name: Test
|
|
run: npm run test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Ecosystem Examples
|
|
|
|
See [Examples](examples.md)
|
|
|
|
## Cache Limits
|
|
|
|
Individual caches are limited to 200MB and a repository can have up to 2GB of caches. Once the 2GB limit is reached, older caches will be evicted based on when the cache was last accessed. Caches that are not accessed within the last week will also be evicted.
|
|
|
|
## Skipping steps based on cache-hit
|
|
|
|
Using the `cache-hit` output, subsequent steps (such as install or build) can be skipped when a cache hit occurs on the key.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
|
|
|
|
- uses: actions/cache@preview
|
|
id: cache
|
|
with:
|
|
path: path/to/dependencies
|
|
key: ${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('**/lockfiles')}}
|
|
|
|
- name: Install Dependencies
|
|
if: steps.cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'
|
|
run: /install.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> Note: The `id` defined in `actions/cache` must match the `id` in the `if` statement (i.e. `steps.[ID].outputs.cache-hit`)
