actions-rust

Reusable Gitea Actions for Rust projects.

actions/rust-cache

Composite action that installs a Rust toolchain and caches cargo/crate dependencies.

Usage

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: https://gitea.com/actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Setup Rust + Cache
        uses: https://git.ericxliu.me/eric/actions-rust/.gitea/actions/rust-cache@main
        with:
          toolchain: stable  # optional, defaults to stable

      - run: cargo build --release
      - run: cargo test

What it does

1. Cache restore — Restores ~/.cargo/registry, ~/.cargo/git, ~/.rustup/toolchains, and target/ using Gitea's native actions/cache.
2. Rust install — Runs rustup to install or verify the requested toolchain.
3. PATH setup — Appends $HOME/.cargo/bin to $GITHUB_PATH so cargo/rustc are available in subsequent steps.

Cache key format

rust-linux-{hash(Cargo.lock)}{hash(Cargo.toml)}

Warm builds run in ~40–60s vs ~3min for a cold build.
