+> Note: `cache-hit` will be set to `true` only when cache hit occurs for the exact `key` match. For a partial key match via `restore-keys` or a cache miss, it will be set to `false`. It is recommended to install the missing/updated dependencies in case of a partial key match when the key is dependent on the `hash` of the package file.

 ### Cache scopes
 The cache is scoped to the key and branch. The default branch cache is available to other branches.
