With `actions/cache@v3` you can now exclude unwanted packages with [exclude pattern](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/glob#exclude-patterns) ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: | ~/.nuget/packages !~/.nuget/packages/unwanted key: ${{ runner.os }}-nuget-${{ hashFiles('**/packages.lock.json') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-nuget- ``` Or you could move the cache folder like below. > **Note** This workflow does not work for projects that require files to be placed in user profile package folder ```yaml env: NUGET_PACKAGES: ${{ github.workspace }}/.nuget/packages steps: - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: ${{ github.workspace }}/.nuget/packages key: ${{ runner.os }}-nuget-${{ hashFiles('**/packages.lock.json') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-nuget- ``` ## Clojure - Lein Deps ```yaml - name: Cache lein project dependencies uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: ~/.m2/repository key: ${{ runner.os }}-clojure-${{ hashFiles('**/project.clj') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-clojure ``` ## D - DUB ### POSIX ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: ~/.dub key: ${{ runner.os }}-dub-${{ hashFiles('**/dub.selections.json') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-dub- ``` ### Windows ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: ~\AppData\Local\dub key: ${{ runner.os }}-dub-${{ hashFiles('**/dub.selections.json') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-dub- ``` ## Deno ### Linux ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: | ~/.deno ~/.cache/deno key: ${{ runner.os }}-deno-${{ hashFiles('**/deps.ts') }} ``` ### macOS ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: | ~/.deno ~/Library/Caches/deno key: ${{ runner.os }}-deno-${{ hashFiles('**/deps.ts') }} ``` ### Windows ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: | ~\.deno ~\AppData\Local\deno key: ${{ runner.os }}-deno-${{ hashFiles('**/deps.ts') }} ``` ## Elixir - Mix ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: | deps _build key: ${{ runner.os }}-mix-${{ hashFiles('**/mix.lock') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-mix- ``` ## Erlang - Rebar3 ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v2 with: path: | ~/.cache/rebar3 _build key: ${{ runner.os }}-erlang-${{ env.OTP_VERSION }}-${{ hashFiles('**/*rebar.lock') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-erlang-${{ env.OTP_VERSION }}- ``` ## Go - Modules ### Linux ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: | ~/.cache/go-build ~/go/pkg/mod key: ${{ runner.os }}-go-${{ hashFiles('**/go.sum') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-go- ``` ### macOS ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: | ~/Library/Caches/go-build ~/go/pkg/mod key: ${{ runner.os }}-go-${{ hashFiles('**/go.sum') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-go- ``` ### Windows ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: | ~\AppData\Local\go-build ~\go\pkg\mod key: ${{ runner.os }}-go-${{ hashFiles('**/go.sum') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-go- ``` ## Haskell - Cabal We cache the elements of the Cabal store separately, as the entirety of `~/.cabal` can grow very large for projects with many dependencies. ```yaml - name: Cache ~/.cabal/packages, ~/.cabal/store and dist-newstyle uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: | ~/.cabal/packages ~/.cabal/store dist-newstyle key: ${{ runner.os }}-${{ matrix.ghc }}-${{ hashFiles('**/*.cabal', '**/cabal.project', '**/cabal.project.freeze') }} restore-keys: ${{ runner.os }}-${{ matrix.ghc }}- ``` ## Haskell - Stack ### Linux or macOS ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 name: Cache ~/.stack with: path: ~/.stack key: ${{ runner.os }}-stack-global-${{ hashFiles('stack.yaml') }}-${{ hashFiles('package.yaml') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-stack-global- - uses: actions/cache@v3 name: Cache .stack-work with: path: .stack-work key: ${{ runner.os }}-stack-work-${{ hashFiles('stack.yaml') }}-${{ hashFiles('package.yaml') }}-${{ hashFiles('**/*.hs') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-stack-work- ``` ### Windows ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 name: Cache %APPDATA%\stack %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\stack with: path: | ~\AppData\Roaming\stack ~\AppData\Local\Programs\stack key: ${{ runner.os }}-stack-global-${{ hashFiles('stack.yaml') }}-${{ hashFiles('package.yaml') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-stack-global- - uses: actions/cache@v3 name: Cache .stack-work with: path: .stack-work key: ${{ runner.os }}-stack-work-${{ hashFiles('stack.yaml') }}-${{ hashFiles('package.yaml') }}-${{ hashFiles('**/*.hs') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-stack-work- ``` ## Java - Gradle > **Note** Ensure no Gradle daemons are running anymore when your workflow completes. Creating the cache package might fail due to locks being held by Gradle. Refer to the [Gradle Daemon documentation](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_daemon.html) on how to disable or stop the Gradle Daemons. ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: | ~/.gradle/caches ~/.gradle/wrapper key: ${{ runner.os }}-gradle-${{ hashFiles('**/*.gradle*', '**/gradle-wrapper.properties') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-gradle- ``` ## Java - Maven ```yaml - name: Cache local Maven repository uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: ~/.m2/repository key: ${{ runner.os }}-maven-${{ hashFiles('**/pom.xml') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-maven- ``` ## Node - npm For npm, cache files are stored in `~/.npm` on Posix, or `~\AppData\npm-cache` on Windows, but it's possible to use `npm config get cache` to find the path on any platform. See [the npm docs](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/cache#cache) for more details. If using `npm config` to retrieve the cache directory, ensure you run [actions/setup-node](https://github.com/actions/setup-node) first to ensure your `npm` version is correct. After [deprecation](https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/) of save-state and set-output commands, the correct way to set output is using `${GITHUB_OUTPUT}`. For linux, we can use `${GITHUB_OUTPUT}` whereas for windows we need to use `${env:GITHUB_OUTPUT}` due to two different default shells in these two different OS ie `bash` and `pwsh` respectively. > **Note** It is not recommended to cache `node_modules`, as it can break across Node versions and won't work with `npm ci` ### **Get npm cache directory using same shell** ### Bash shell ```yaml - name: Get npm cache directory id: npm-cache-dir shell: bash run: echo "dir=$(npm config get cache)" >> ${GITHUB_OUTPUT} ``` ### PWSH shell ```yaml - name: Get npm cache directory id: npm-cache-dir shell: pwsh run: echo "dir=$(npm config get cache)" >> ${env:GITHUB_OUTPUT} ``` `Get npm cache directory` step can then be used with `actions/cache` as shown below ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 id: npm-cache # use this to check for `cache-hit` ==> if: steps.npm-cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' with: path: ${{ steps.npm-cache-dir.outputs.dir }} key: ${{ runner.os }}-node-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-node- ``` ## Node - Lerna ```yaml - name: restore lerna uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: '**/node_modules' key: ${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('**/yarn.lock') }} ``` ## Node - Yarn The yarn cache directory will depend on your operating system and version of `yarn`. See https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/cache/ for more info. ```yaml - name: Get yarn cache directory path id: yarn-cache-dir-path run: echo "dir=$(yarn cache dir)" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT - uses: actions/cache@v3 id: yarn-cache # use this to check for `cache-hit` (`steps.yarn-cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'`) with: path: ${{ steps.yarn-cache-dir-path.outputs.dir }} key: ${{ runner.os }}-yarn-${{ hashFiles('**/yarn.lock') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-yarn- ``` ## Node - Yarn 2 The yarn 2 cache directory will depend on your config. See https://yarnpkg.com/configuration/yarnrc#cacheFolder for more info. ```yaml - name: Get yarn cache directory path id: yarn-cache-dir-path run: echo "dir=$(yarn config get cacheFolder)" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT - uses: actions/cache@v3 id: yarn-cache # use this to check for `cache-hit` (`steps.yarn-cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'`) with: path: ${{ steps.yarn-cache-dir-path.outputs.dir }} key: ${{ runner.os }}-yarn-${{ hashFiles('**/yarn.lock') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-yarn- ``` ## OCaml/Reason - esy Esy allows you to export built dependencies and import pre-built dependencies. ```yaml - name: Restore Cache id: restore-cache uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: _export key: ${{ runner.os }}-esy-${{ hashFiles('esy.lock/index.json') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-esy- - name: Esy install run: 'esy install' - name: Import Cache run: | esy import-dependencies _export rm -rf _export ...(Build job)... # Re-export dependencies if anything has changed or if it is the first time - name: Setting dependency cache run: | esy export-dependencies if: steps.restore-cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' ``` ## PHP - Composer ```yaml - name: Get Composer Cache Directory id: composer-cache run: | echo "dir=$(composer config cache-files-dir)" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: ${{ steps.composer-cache.outputs.dir }} key: ${{ runner.os }}-composer-${{ hashFiles('**/composer.lock') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-composer- ``` ## Python - pip For pip, the cache directory will vary by OS. See https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#caching Locations: - Ubuntu: `~/.cache/pip` - Windows: `~\AppData\Local\pip\Cache` - macOS: `~/Library/Caches/pip` ### Simple example ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: ~/.cache/pip key: ${{ runner.os }}-pip-${{ hashFiles('**/requirements.txt') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-pip- ``` Replace `~/.cache/pip` with the correct `path` if not using Ubuntu. ### Multiple OS's in a workflow ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 if: startsWith(runner.os, 'Linux') with: path: ~/.cache/pip key: ${{ runner.os }}-pip-${{ hashFiles('**/requirements.txt') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-pip- - uses: actions/cache@v3 if: startsWith(runner.os, 'macOS') with: path: ~/Library/Caches/pip key: ${{ runner.os }}-pip-${{ hashFiles('**/requirements.txt') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-pip- - uses: actions/cache@v3 if: startsWith(runner.os, 'Windows') with: path: ~\AppData\Local\pip\Cache key: ${{ runner.os }}-pip-${{ hashFiles('**/requirements.txt') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-pip- ``` ### Multiple OS's in a workflow with a matrix ``` yaml jobs: build: runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }} strategy: matrix: os: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest] include: - os: ubuntu-latest path: ~/.cache/pip - os: macos-latest path: ~/Library/Caches/pip - os: windows-latest path: ~\AppData\Local\pip\Cache steps: - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: ${{ matrix.path }} key: ${{ runner.os }}-pip-${{ hashFiles('**/requirements.txt') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-pip- ``` ### Using pip to get cache location > **Note** This requires pip 20.1+ ```yaml - name: Get pip cache dir id: pip-cache run: | echo "dir=$(pip cache dir)" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT - name: pip cache uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: ${{ steps.pip-cache.outputs.dir }} key: ${{ runner.os }}-pip-${{ hashFiles('**/requirements.txt') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-pip- ``` ## Python - pipenv ```yaml - name: Set up Python # The actions/cache step below uses this id to get the exact python version id: setup-python uses: actions/setup-python@v2 ⋮ - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: ~/.local/share/virtualenvs key: ${{ runner.os }}-python-${{ steps.setup-python.outputs.python-version }}-pipenv-${{ hashFiles('Pipfile.lock') }} ``` ## R - renv For renv, the cache directory will vary by OS. The `RENV_PATHS_ROOT` environment variable is used to set the cache location. Have a look at https://rstudio.github.io/renv/reference/paths.html#details for more details. ```yaml - name: Set RENV_PATHS_ROOT shell: bash run: | echo "RENV_PATHS_ROOT=${{ runner.temp }}/renv" >> $GITHUB_ENV - name: Install and activate renv run: | install.packages("renv") renv::activate() shell: Rscript {0} - name: Get R and OS version id: get-version run: | cat("##[set-output name=os-version;]", sessionInfo()$running, "\n", sep = "") cat("##[set-output name=r-version;]", R.Version()$version.string, sep = "") shell: Rscript {0} - name: Restore Renv package cache uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: ${{ env.RENV_PATHS_ROOT }} key: ${{ steps.get-version.outputs.os-version }}-${{ steps.get-version.outputs.r-version }}-${{ inputs.cache-version }}-${{ hashFiles('renv.lock') }} restore-keys: ${{ steps.get-version.outputs.os-version }}-${{ steps.get-version.outputs.r-version }}-${{inputs.cache-version }}- ``` ## Ruby - Bundler Caching gems with Bundler correctly is not trivial and just using `actions/cache` is [not enough](https://github.com/ruby/setup-ruby#caching-bundle-install-manually). Instead, it is recommended to use `ruby/setup-ruby`'s [`bundler-cache: true` option](https://github.com/ruby/setup-ruby#caching-bundle-install-automatically) whenever possible: ```yaml - uses: ruby/setup-ruby@v1 with: ruby-version: ... bundler-cache: true ``` ## Rust - Cargo ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: | ~/.cargo/bin/ ~/.cargo/registry/index/ ~/.cargo/registry/cache/ ~/.cargo/git/db/ target/ key: ${{ runner.os }}-cargo-${{ hashFiles('**/Cargo.lock') }} ``` ## Scala - SBT ```yaml - name: Cache SBT uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: | ~/.ivy2/cache ~/.sbt key: ${{ runner.os }}-sbt-${{ hashFiles('**/build.sbt') }} ``` ## Swift, Objective-C - Carthage ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: Carthage key: ${{ runner.os }}-carthage-${{ hashFiles('**/Cartfile.resolved') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-carthage- ``` ## Swift, Objective-C - CocoaPods ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: Pods key: ${{ runner.os }}-pods-${{ hashFiles('**/Podfile.lock') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-pods- ``` ## Swift - Swift Package Manager ```yaml - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: .build key: ${{ runner.os }}-spm-${{ hashFiles('**/Package.resolved') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-spm- ``` ## Swift - Mint ```yaml env: MINT_PATH: .mint/lib MINT_LINK_PATH: .mint/bin steps: - uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: .mint key: ${{ runner.os }}-mint-${{ hashFiles('**/Mintfile') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-mint- ``` ## * - ASDF [ASDF](https://asdf-vm.com), see [#235](https://github.com/asdf-vm/actions/issues/235): ```yaml - name: Setup ASDF itself uses: asdf-vm/actions/setup@v3 - name: Cache ASDF uses: actions/cache@v4 id: asdf-cache with: # https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf/blob/master/.gitignore path: | ~/.asdf/installs ~/.asdf/plugins ~/.asdf/shims key: ${{ runner.os }}-asdf-tools-${{ hashFiles('.tool-versions') }} restore-keys: ${{ runner.os }}-asdf-tools- - name: Install ASDF plugins uses: asdf-vm/actions/install@v3 # See https://github.com/asdf-vm/actions/issues/445 if: ${{ steps.asdf-cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' }} with: asdf_branch: v0.14.0 - name: Reshim installed ASDF tools shell: bash run: asdf reshim ``` ## * - Bazel [`bazelisk`](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk) does not have be to separately downloaded and installed because it's already included in GitHub's `ubuntu-latest` and `macos-latest` base images. ### Linux ```yaml - name: Cache Bazel uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: | ~/.cache/bazel key: ${{ runner.os }}-bazel-${{ hashFiles('.bazelversion', '.bazelrc', 'WORKSPACE', 'WORKSPACE.bazel', 'MODULE.bazel') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-bazel- - run: bazelisk test //... ``` ### macOS ```yaml - name: Cache Bazel uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: | /private/var/tmp/_bazel_runner/ key: ${{ runner.os }}-bazel-${{ hashFiles('.bazelversion', '.bazelrc', 'WORKSPACE', 'WORKSPACE.bazel', 'MODULE.bazel') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-bazel- - run: bazelisk test //... ```
