Code of Conduct

• [X] I have read and agree to the GitHub Docs project's Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

Modify the workflow example in Managing caches > Force deleting cache entries

Why: When triggered by the pull_request event, the GITHUB_TOKEN does not have permission to delete the cache of the base repository in a cross-repository pull request. This results in the error Error: Resource not accessible by integration.

Additional information

This always happens for cross-repository pull requests.

I can confirm that I ran into this exact issue myself, so this should be addressed urgently.

At the same time, it might make sense to replace gh-actions-cache with gh cache as was started in https://github.com/github/docs/pull/28850
