Deletes GitHub Actions caches for a branch.
Besides if you want to clear the caches for some reason, you can save cache space by deleting the caches you no longer need immediately, because total size of all caches in a repository is limited to 10 GB.
| Name | Description | Default | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
repository |
Target repository name with owner, eg snnaplab/delete-branch-cache-action. Specify when deleting the cache of a repository different from the workflow. |
${{ github.repository }} |
false |
ref |
Git reference of target branch in refs/heads/<branch name> format. To reference a pull request use refs/pull/<number>/merge format. |
${{ github.ref }} |
false |
key |
Delete caches with keys that prefix match the key specified here. If not specified, all caches of the branch specified by ref will be deleted. |
false | |
github-token |
Specify a personal access token (PAT) when targeting a repository different from the workflow. | ${{ github.token }} |
false |
Caches created in the HEAD branch of a pull request are no longer used, so delete them immediately to save repository cache space.
