gh-actions-cache

✨ A GitHub (gh) CLI extension to manage the GitHub Actions caches being used in a GitHub repository.

It enables listing of active caches in a repo along with capability to filter by cache key or branch. This brings transparency, for example by showing how much storage quota a cache is consuming or which branch a cache was created for etc or how recently was the cache used.

It also allows deleting a corrupt, incomplete or dangling cache. A cache can be deleted by cache key. The key can be easily found either using the list capability or by looking at the cache action log in workflow run logs.

This extension builds on top of cache management capabilities exposed by GitHub APIs.

Note: This extension currently supports github.com only, GitHub Enterprise Server is not supported currently.

ℹ️ There could be multiple caches in a repo with same key. This can happen when different caches with same key have been created for different branches. it may also happen if the version property of the cache is different which usually means that cache with same key was created for different OS or with different paths.
