Caching on self-hosted runners

[rajaie-sg]

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/learn-github-actions/migrating-from-circleci-to-github-actions#caching

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

Caching

Additional information

The docs state that GitHub Actions caching is only applicable to GitHub-hosted runners. which seems to indicate we can't use caching on self-hosted runners, but I just tested caching on a self-hosted runner and it worked fine. Are the docs out of date?

👋 @rajaie-sg I've gotten some answers from our engineering team and caching only works for repos hosted on github.com.

We should update the line from GitHub Actions caching is only applicable to GitHub-hosted runners. to read GitHub Actions caching is only applicable for repositories hosted on github.com

You or anyone else is welcome to open a PR with that fix ✨
