One-line GitHub Actions cache trick most repos miss

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Many CI pipelines waste 30-90 seconds per run by not enabling built-in caching in setup-* actions. Adding a single line like cache: 'npm' to setup-node or cache: 'pip' to setup-python stops re-downloading dependencies. For custom paths, actions/cache with a lockfile hash key ensures fast restores.

Meridian48 take
The advice is solid but basic; any team with slow CI should already know this—the real value is the reminder to check cache keys and paths.
