Cache Key Templates

Cache key template syntax is very basic. You just need to provide a string. In that string you can use variables by prefixing them with a . in {{ }} construct, from provided metadata object (see below).

Also following helper functions provided for your use:

• checksum: Provides md5 hash of a file for given path
• epoch: Provides Unix epoch
• arch: Provides Architecture of running system
• os: Provides Operation system of running system

For further information about this syntax please see official docs from Go standard library.

Template Examples

"{{ .Repo.Name }}-{{ .Commit.Branch }}-{{ checksum "go.mod" }}-yadayadayada"

"{{ .Repo.Name }}_{{ checksum "go.mod" }}_{{ checksum "go.sum" }}_{{ arch }}_{{ os }}"

Metadata

Following metadata object is available and pre-populated with current build information for you to use in cache key templates.
