Delete all caches in the repository$ gh cache delete --all
SYNOPSIS
gh cache subcommand [options]
DESCRIPTION
gh cache manages GitHub Actions caches for a repository. Caches store dependencies and build artifacts to speed up workflow execution by reusing data between runs.The cache system uses key-based storage, where workflows save and restore cached data using unique keys. Cache entries have size limits and are automatically evicted based on usage policies. Managing caches manually helps troubleshoot workflow issues and reclaim storage.`gh cache list` can also be invoked as `gh cache ls`.
