C# - NuGet
Using NuGet lock files:
- uses: actions/cache@v2
  with:
    path: ~/.nuget/packages
    key: ${{ runner.os }}-nuget-${{ hashFiles('**/packages.lock.json') }}
    restore-keys: |
      ${{ runner.os }}-nuget-
Depending on the environment, huge packages might be pre-installed in the global cache folder.
With actions/cache@v2 you can now exclude unwanted packages with exclude pattern
- uses: actions/cache@v2
  with:
    path: |
      ~/.nuget/packages
      !~/.nuget/packages/unwanted
    key: ${{ runner.os }}-nuget-${{ hashFiles('**/packages.lock.json') }}
    restore-keys: |
      ${{ runner.os }}-nuget-
Or you could move the cache folder like below.
Note: This workflow does not work for projects that require files to be placed in user profile package folder
env:
  NUGET_PACKAGES: ${{ github.workspace }}/.nuget/packages
steps:
  - uses: actions/cache@v2
    with:
      path: ${{ github.workspace }}/.nuget/packages
      key: ${{ runner.os }}-nuget-${{ hashFiles('**/packages.lock.json') }}

Haskell - Cabal
We cache the elements of the Cabal store separately, as the entirety of ~/.cabal can grow very large for projects with many dependencies.
- name: Cache ~/.cabal/packages, ~/.cabal/store and dist-newstyle
  uses: actions/cache@v2
  with:
    path: |
      ~/.cabal/packages
      ~/.cabal/store
      dist-newstyle
    key: cabal-${{ runner.os }}-${{ matrix.ghc }}-${{ hashFiles('**/*.cabal', '**/cabal.project', '**/cabal.project.freeze') }}
    restore-keys: cabal-${{ runner.os }}-${{ matrix.ghc }}-```
## Java - Gradle
>Note: Ensure no Gradle daemons are running anymore when your workflow completes. Creating the cache package might fail due to locks being held by Gradle. Refer to the [Gradle Daemon documentation](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_daemon.html) on how to disable or stop the Gradle Daemons.
```yaml
- uses: actions/cache@v2

  with:
    path: ~/.m2/repository
    key: ${{ runner.os }}-maven-${{ hashFiles('**/pom.xml') }}
    restore-keys: |
      ${{ runner.os }}-maven-
Node - npm
For npm, cache files are stored in ~/.npm on Posix, or %AppData%/npm-cache on Windows. See https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/cache#cache
If using npm config to retrieve the cache directory, ensure you run actions/setup-node first to ensure your npm version is correct.
Note: It is not recommended to cache
node_modules, as it can break across Node versions and won't work withnpm ci
macOS and Ubuntu
- uses: actions/cache@v2

Node - Yarn
The yarn cache directory will depend on your operating system and version of yarn. See https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/cache/ for more info.
- name: Get yarn cache directory path
  id: yarn-cache-dir-path
  run: echo "::set-output name=dir::$(yarn cache dir)"
- uses: actions/cache@v2
  id: yarn-cache # use this to check for `cache-hit` (`steps.yarn-cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'`)

    key: ${{ runner.os }}-yarn-${{ hashFiles('**/yarn.lock') }}
    restore-keys: |
      ${{ runner.os }}-yarn-
Node - Yarn 2
The yarn 2 cache directory will depend on your config. See https://yarnpkg.com/configuration/yarnrc#cacheFolder for more info.
- name: Get yarn cache directory path
  id: yarn-cache-dir-path
  run: echo "::set-output name=dir::$(yarn config get cacheFolder)"

OCaml/Reason - esy
Esy allows you to export built dependencies and import pre-built dependencies.
    - name: Restore Cache
      id: restore-cache
      uses: actions/cache@v2
      with:
        path: _export
        key:  ${{ runner.os }}-esy-${{ hashFiles('esy.lock/index.json') }}

Python - pip
For pip, the cache directory will vary by OS. See https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#caching
Locations:
- Ubuntu: ~/.cache/pip
- Windows: ~\AppData\Local\pip\Cache
- macOS: ~/Library/Caches/pip
Simple example
- uses: actions/cache@v2
  with:
    path: ~/.cache/pip
    key: ${{ runner.os }}-pip-${{ hashFiles('**/requirements.txt') }}
    restore-keys: |
      ${{ runner.os }}-pip-
Replace ~/.cache/pip with the correct path if not using Ubuntu.

    restore-keys: |
      ${{ runner.os }}-pip-

Using pip to get cache location
Note: This requires pip 20.1+

    echo "::set-output name=dir::$(pip cache dir)"
- name: pip cache
  uses: actions/cache@v2
  with:
    path: ${{ steps.pip-cache.outputs.dir }}
    key: ${{ runner.os }}-pip-${{ hashFiles('**/requirements.txt') }}
    restore-keys: |

Python - pipenv

  # The actions/cache step below uses this id to get the exact python version
  id: setup-python
  uses: actions/setup-python@v2
  ⋮
- uses: actions/cache@v2
  with:
    path: ~/.local/share/virtualenvs
    key: ${{ runner.os }}-python-${{ steps.setup-python.outputs.python-version }}-pipenv-${{ hashFiles('Pipfile.lock') }}
R - renv
For renv, the cache directory will vary by OS. The RENV_PATHS_ROOT environment variable is used to set the cache location. Have a look at https://rstudio.github.io/renv/reference/paths.html#details for more details.
- name: Set RENV_PATHS_ROOT
  shell: bash
  run: |
    echo "RENV_PATHS_ROOT=${{ runner.temp }}/renv" >> $GITHUB_ENV
- name: Install and activate renv
  run: |
    install.packages("renv")
    renv::activate()
  shell: Rscript {0}
- name: Get R and OS version
  id: get-version
  run: |
    cat("##[set-output name=os-version;]", sessionInfo()$running, "\n", sep = "")
    cat("##[set-output name=r-version;]", R.Version()$version.string, sep = "")
  shell: Rscript {0}

    restore-keys: ${{ steps.get-version.outputs.os-version }}-${{ steps.get-version.outputs.r-version }}-${{inputs.cache-version }}-
Ruby - Bundler
Caching gems with Bundler correctly is not trivial and just using actions/cache
is not enough.
Instead, it is recommended to use ruby/setup-ruby's
bundler-cache: true option
whenever possible:
- uses: ruby/setup-ruby@v1
  with:
    ruby-version: ...
    bundler-cache: true
