Caching Dependencies
Last updated
What is Caching Dependencies?
Caching dependencies in GitHub Actions stores files like package manager directories between workflow runs, avoiding the need to reinstall them from scratch every time. The actions/cache action saves and restores these files based on a key, often derived from a lockfile's hash. This significantly speeds up workflows that install the same dependencies repeatedly across multiple runs.
