Action Template

This is a Yarn Install composite action designed for Yarn versions 3/4+ and "nodeLinker: node-modules". It helps to cache and speed up your Yarn installations in your GitHub workflows.

Reference: Gist

Getting Started

To get started, clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Andrews-McMeel-Universal/cache-yarn-install

Installation

To integrate cache-yarn-install into your workflow, add a step to one of your workflows in the .github/workflows/ directory of your GitHub repository.

Note: The @setup/node action should be run before this action.

Here's an example of how to use it:

- name: Cache Yarn Install
  uses: Andrews-McMeel-Universal/cache-yarn-install@v1
  with:
    enable-corepack: false
    cwd: ${{ github.workspace }}/apps/my-app
    cache-prefix: 'your-cache-key-prefix'
    cache-node-modules: false
    cache-install-state: false
