Research direction

Start in actions_cache.go by reading the existing cache usage methods and compare their structure with the organization-level REST endpoints in the linked GitHub documentation. Add the four named ActionsService methods for retention and storage limits, then verify that each uses the documented GET or PUT endpoint and passes the relevant package tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

GitHub added endpoints for the Actions cache retention limit and storage limit at the organization level, but go-github doesn't cover them yet:

  • GET/PUT /organizations/{org}/actions/cache/retention-limit
  • GET/PUT /organizations/{org}/actions/cache/storage-limit

Docs: https://docs.github.com/rest/actions/cache#get-github-actions-cache-retention-limit-for-an-organization

I'd like to add ActionsService.GetCacheRetentionLimitForOrg / SetCacheRetentionLimitForOrg and GetCacheStorageLimitForOrg / SetCacheStorageLimitForOrg alongside the existing cache usage methods in actions_cache.go. I'm happy to send a PR.
