### Overwriting an existing Gradle User Home
When the action detects that the Gradle User Home caches directory already exists (`~/.gradle/caches`), then by default it will not overwrite the existing content of this directory.
This can occur when a prior action initializes this directory, or when using a self-hosted runner that retains this directory between uses.
In this case the Job Summary will display a message like:
> Caching for gradle-build-action was disabled due to pre-existing Gradle User Home
If you want override the default and have the `gradle-build-action` caches overwrite existing content in the Gradle User Home, you can set the `cache-overwrite-existing` parameter to 'true':
```yaml
cache-overwrite-existing: true
```

When using `gradle-build-action` we recommend that you avoid using other mechanisms to save and restore the Gradle User Home. When using `gradle-build-action` we recommend that you avoid using other mechanisms to save and restore the Gradle User Home.
