Advanced usage

Sample to improve workflow performance with actions/cache

• If cache is available, install_scoop will be false to skip installation and only update_path will be true
• Include packages_to_install into cache seed to validate cache is including enough apps or not
• Increment cache_version if cache should be expired without changing packages_to_install

env:
  packages_to_install: shellcheck
  cache_version: v0
  cache_hash_seed_file_path: './.github/workflows/cache_seed_file_for_scoop.txt'
