[![Tests](https://github.com/actions/cache/actions/workflows/workflow.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/actions/cache/actions/workflows/workflow.yml)
## Documentation
See ["Caching dependencies to speed up workflows"](https://help.github.com/github/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows).
## What's New
### v3
* Added support for caching from GHES 3.5.
* Fixed download issue for files > 2GB during restore.
* Updated the minimum runner version support from node 12 -> node 16.
* Fixed avoiding empty cache save when no files are available for caching.
* Added support for multiple paths, [glob patterns](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/glob), and single file caches.
```yaml
- name: Cache multiple paths
uses: actions/cache@v2
with:
path: |
~/cache
!~/cache/exclude
key: ${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('**/lockfiles') }}
```
* Increased performance and improved cache sizes using `zstd` compression for Linux and macOS runners
* Allowed caching for all events with a ref. See [events that trigger workflow](https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows) for info on which events do not have a `GITHUB_REF`
* Released the [`@actions/cache`](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/cache) npm package to allow other actions to utilize caching
* Added a best-effort cleanup step to delete the archive after extraction to reduce storage space

## 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).
If you are using this inside a container, a POSIX-compliant `tar` needs to be included and accessible in the execution path.
### Inputs
* `path` - A list of files, directories, and wildcard patterns to cache and restore. See [`@actions/glob`](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/glob) for supported patterns.
* `path` - A list of files, directories, and wildcard patterns to cache and restore. See [`@actions/glob`](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/glob) for supported patterns.
* `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

### Cache scopes
The cache is scoped to the key and branch. The default branch cache is available to other branches.

## Cache Limits
A repository can have up to 5GB of caches. Once the 5GB 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.

## Cache Version
Cache version is unique for a combination of compression tool used for compression of cache (Gzip, Zstd, etc based on runner OS) and the path of directories being cached. If two caches have different versions, they are identified as unique cache entries. This also means that a cache created on `windows-latest` runner can't be restored on `ubuntu-latest` as cache `Version`s are different.
Example: Below example will create 3 unique caches with same keys. Ubuntu and windows runners will use different compression technique and hence create two different caches. And `build-linux` will create two different caches as the `paths` are different.
```yaml
jobs:
build-linux:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest

- uses: actions/checkout@v3
