### Branch scope
### Cache scopes
The cache is scoped to the key and branch. The default branch cache is available to other branches.
See https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows#matching-a-cache-key for more info.

## Creating a cache key
A cache key can include any of the contexts, functions, literals, and operators supported by GitHub Actions.
For example, using the [`hashFiles`](https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/context-and-expression-syntax-for-github-actions#hashfiles) function allows you to create a new cache when dependencies change.
```yaml
- uses: actions/cache@v1
with:
path: path/to/dependencies
key: ${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('**/lockfiles') }}
```
Additionally, you can use arbitrary command output in a cache key, such as a date or software version:
```yaml
# http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/date.1.html
- name: Get Date
id: get-date
run: |
echo "::set-output name=date::$(/bin/date -u "+%Y%m%d")"
shell: bash
- uses: actions/cache@v1
with:
path: path/to/dependencies
key: ${{ runner.os }}-${{ steps.get-date.outputs.date }}-${{ hashFiles('**/lockfiles') }}
```

## 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.
