View cache usage in your Action workflows

Dependency caching is one of the most effective ways to make jobs faster on GitHub Actions. You can now monitor the storage usage of your existing caches and get greater control over cache availability for your action workflows.

Actions users who use actions/cache to speed up their workflow execution times can now use our cache usage APIs to:

  • query the cache usage within each repository and monitor if the total size of all caches is reaching the upper limit of 10 GB,
  • monitor aggregate cache usage at organization level or even at enterprise level, if your GitHub organization is owned by an enterprise account.

Enable OAuth Device Authentication Flow for Apps

From today the OAuth Device Authorization flow feature must be manually enabled for all OAuth and GitHub Apps. This change reduces the likelihood of Apps being used in phishing attacks against GitHub users by ensuring integrators are aware of the risks and make a conscious choice to support this form of authentication.

If you own or manage an OAuth App or GitHub App that makes use of the OAuth Device Authorization flow, you can enable it for your App via its settings page:

Enable device flow

The OAuth Device Authorization flow API endpoints will respond with status code 400 to Apps that have not enabled this feature.

Pull Request File Tree (Beta)

Today, we are announcing the beta of the new file tree experience for pull requests!

  • Jump between files more quickly
  • Understand the size and scope of the change before you start reviewing
  • Focus your review by filtering the tree on part of a file or folder name

How to use the tree

On the Files changed tab of a pull request, click a file in the tree to see its changes.

PR Files Changed tab showing tree

To filter the tree, type into the Filter changed files text input. File names matching this input and all files under a folder name matching this input will be shown. You can also filter the tree by file extension, viewed or not, owned by you or your team, and more using the File filter menu.

To hide or show the tree, click the toggle button above the tree.

Note: The file tree only appears if the pull request has at least 2 changed file and your browser window is sufficiently wide. During the beta, you can disable the tree completely via the feature preview dialog. When disabled, you will no longer have the option to hide or show the tree from the pull request page. If you change your mind, you can re-enable the tree in the feature preview dialog.
