# GitHub release assets

Avrea caches files downloaded from GitHub releases, including some downloads made
by mise, Homebrew, and other tools. Use your existing download commands.

## Enable

Enable **GitHub Release Asset Cache** in organization or repository settings.
It is off by default and works independently of **Package Manager Cache**.
The setting applies to new jobs and refreshed hosted environments on hosts
that support release-asset caching.

## Coverage

Downloads served by `release-assets.githubusercontent.com` are eligible.
Other download hosts and GitHub source archives are not covered by this setting.

Cache hits still require a valid GitHub download URL. Downloads that cannot be
validated use GitHub directly without caching. A partial download can use an
existing cached file, but does not populate the cache on a miss.

View activity under **GitHub Release Assets**. Turn off the setting to stop
routing downloads through this cache.
