#### Update a cache
|
||||
A cache today is immutable and cannot be updated. But some use cases require the cache to be saved even though there was a "hit" during restore. To do so, use a `key` which is unique for every run and use `restore-keys` to restore the nearest cache. For example:
|
||||
```
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- name: update cache on every commit
|
||||
uses: actions/cache@v3

#### Use cache across feature branches
|
||||
Reusing cache across feature branches is not allowed today to provide cache [isolation](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows#restrictions-for-accessing-a-cache). However if both feature branches are from the default branch, a good way to achieve this is to ensure that the default branch has a cache. This cache will then be consumable by both feature branches.

#### Improving cache restore performance on Windows
|
||||
Currently, cache restore is slow on Windows due to both tar being slow and the compression algorithm being used is `gzip`. Zstd was disabled on windows due to issues with bsd tar(libarchive) which is the tar implementation in use on Windows. To improve cache restore performance, we can re-enable `zstd` as the compression algorithm using the following workaround by using GNU tar instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Add the following step to your workflow before the cache step:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- if: ${{ runner.os == 'Windows' }}
|
||||
name: Use GNU tar
|
||||
shell: cmd
|
||||
run: |
|
||||
echo "Adding GNU tar to PATH"
|
||||
echo C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin>>"%GITHUB_PATH%"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This should work on all Github Hosted runners as it is. For self-hosted runners, please ensure you have GNU tar and `zstd` installed.
