-name: Refresh Dev Cache ♻️
-
-# We need this workflow to ensure that MIX_ENV=dev caches are available when
-# the CI workflow runs for a tagged build. This is due to a combination of
-# several factors, so it's worthy of a wordy explanation.
-#
-# The actions/cache step stores the caches per-branch and if the cache key misses
-# for a branch, it will try to find a cache from its default branch (main).
-# So, when we run CI for a new branch or a new tag, there will be a cache miss
-# and the cache step will try to find a cache from the main branch.
-# The problem is, we only build with MIX_ENV=dev when a tag is pushed. That
-# means our main CI workflow never builds a dev cache in the main branch.
-# When we push a new tag for a release, the actions/cache step will always miss
-# and then check main for a dev cache. We need this workflow to ensure that
-# it will find a recent dev cache.
-#
-# Many of the steps are duplicated between this workflow and the
-# publish-hex-package job in the Actions CI workflow.
