I’m dusting off an old package, and found that CI is [failing](https://github.com/cstjean/QuickTypes.jl/actions/runs/14367413944/job/40283509531) (presumably misconfigured). Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with my [config](https://github.com/cstjean/QuickTypes.jl/blob/master/.github/workflows/ci.yml)?

GitHub removed that version of actions/cache. You can use [GitHub - julia-actions/cache: A shortcut action to cache Julia artifacts, packages, and registries.](https://github.com/julia-actions/cache) instead.

You may also want to install [dependabot](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/dependabot-security-updates/configuring-dependabot-security-updates) in your repos. If you need inspiration, see

Would Dependabot help maintain stuff like CI scripts?

I read [GitHub - julia-actions/cache: A shortcut action to cache Julia artifacts, packages, and registries.](https://github.com/julia-actions/cache) and I’m not sure how it’s all related, but in any case I finally found “the standard CI script” at [GitHub - julia-actions/julia-runtest: This action runs the tests in a Julia package.](https://github.com/julia-actions/julia-runtest) .
